Question

lewis dot structure of CO

Answer 1

Answer:

Begin finding the chemical formula for carbon monoxide. That is

C

O

Then determine how many valence electrons each element has:

Carbon has

4

valence electrons and Oxygen has

6

. In total, there are

10

valence electrons.

I realize that explaining how to draw the lewis dot structure in words might get confusing so what I'm going to do is put a picture of what the diagram will look like along with a video showing step by step on how to exactly create the diagram for this specific example.

Answer 2

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

More to Know :

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

• Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels.

• When people are exposed to CO gas, the CO molecules will displace the oxygen in their bodies and lead to poisoning.

Lewis Dot Structure

• A Lewis Structure is a very simplified representation of the valence shell electrons in a molecule.
