Question

Draw the Lewis dot structure of CO.

Answer 1

 Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. so there will be a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom.

Answer 2

Refer to the 1st attachment for the Lewis Dot structure of CO.

More to Know :

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

1. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels.
2. When people are exposed to CO gas, the CO molecules will displace the oxygen in their bodies and lead to poisoning.
