Question

Electron dot structure of carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Answer is in image.........................

Answer 2

Answer:

note this applicable for the compounds which are not hypovalent and hypervalent and it is applicable for even electrons species onlyy

Explanation:

i will say tvs method for electron dot structure

t means max electrons that can be filled that is 8 e each for all elements except h and he and for them it is 2 e each

so t for co2 = 24

v means actual electrons that can be filled

so v for co2 = 16

s means no. of bonded electrons

and it is t-v =s

8

and dividing s by 2 you get bond pairs

and subtracting v and s you get lone pair electrons

which is 8

and dividing v-s / 2 you get lone pairs no.
