Question

Plz explain lewis structure of CO and NO2-​

Answer 1

hi frnd

The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.

hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule which contains carbon and oxygen atoms. Lewis structure of CO molecule has a triple bond. Carbon and Oxygen , both atoms have one lone pair in their valence shells.

Nitrogen is the least electronegative atom in the NO2- lewis structure and therefore goes in the center of the structure. The outer shell of the Nitrogen (N) atom  forms a double bond with one of the Oxygen (O) atoms in this Lewis structure of NO2.

Explanation:

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

• It is used to show how the electrons are arranged around individual atoms in a molecule .
