Question

Draw the electron dot structure of carbon dioxide co2

Answer 1

Answer: The lewis do structure of carbon dioxide is given below.

Explanation:

Lewis dot structure is defined as the structure which denotes the valence electrons around the elements. The electrons are represented as dots in the structure.

Carbon dioxide is the gas which is made by the combination of carbon and oxygen element.

The electronic configuration of carbon = $1s^22s^22p^2$

This has 4 valence electrons.

The electronic configuration of oxygen = $1s^22s^22p^4$

This has 6 valance electrons.

Hence, 2 oxygen atoms are required to complete the octet of one carbon atom.

The lewis dot structure of $CO_2$ is given in the image below.

Answer 2

carbon has four valence electrons. and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. now carbon has the need of 4 electrons to complete his octet and oxygen as the need of two electrons to complete the Octet. and the other oxygen atom is the need of two electrons to complete his octet...
