Valence electron

As Mith points out, the full valence of carbon is 4. It will prefer to share its four electrons with its bonding partners. The structure as drawn has the carbons sharing only three electrons ...

... Now the interesting thing about this bond is that hydogen only has one electron, so when the two hydrogens bond with oxygen, which has a high affinity ... is highly positive. If it was any other atom that was sharing it's valence electron the difference would be less, but hydrogen only has one ...
