Answer 2

The electron distribution diagram for the formation of carbon dioxide oxide (CO₂) molecule is shown below.

Explanation :

Electron distribution diagram is also known as Lewis-dot structure.

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, $CO_2$

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $CO_2$ = 4 + 2(6) = 16

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.
