Question

3. Draw electron dot structure for ammonia molecule. Explain how four atoms
achieve noble gas configuration? Write the number of bonds present in
ammonia.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electron dot structures of carbon dioxide:

Oxygen atom contains 6 valence electrons which form 2 lone pairs. Since it is bonded to only one carbon atom, it must form a double bond. Carbon atom contains four valence electrons, resulting in zero lone pairs. Therefore, it is doubly bonded to each oxygen atom.
