Question

draw the structure of carbon dioxide on the basis of VSEPR theory​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can use VESPR theory to predict a linear shape for the molecule

status.

VESPR stands for valence shell electron pair repulsion. This theory basically says that bonding and non-bonding electron pairs of the central atom in a molecule will repel (push away from) each other in three dimensional space and this gives the molecules their shape.

We can use the following notations when examining a Lewis structure of a molecule.

A = central atom

X = peripheral atoms

E = non-bonding electron pairs of the central atom
