Question

Draw the Lewis dot structure of oxygen and boron​

Answer 1

Answer:

the electron dot diagram for an oxygen atom

Now, this is only one way we can draw the electron dot diagram for Oxygen. So as you may of remember from Chemistry class, before it can pair up on any other sides, it needs to have 1 electron per side of the letter then it can double up. Oxygen has a special rule when doubling.

electron dot diagram for boron

Boron has 5 electrons. 3 are in the valence shell. So Boron can use those electrons to bond with three other atoms.
