A student investigates two structural isomers with the molecular formula \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_2\text{Cl}_2\). The student determines that pure liquid Compound \(\text{X}\) has a normal boiling point of \(60^\circ\text{C}\), whereas pure liquid Compound \(\text{Y}\) has a normal boiling point of \(48^\circ\text{C}\). Which of the following best represents the Lewis diagram of Compound \(\text{Y}\) and explains why Compound \(\text{Y}\) has a lower boiling point than Compound \(\text{X}\)?
