Question

What would be the electron dot structure of carbon- dioxide(CO2) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electron dot structures or Lewis dot formula – It defines the nature of bond and position of atoms of the molecule which are connected in the molecules

Explanation:

The carbon is the central atom of this molecule.

Oxygen atom contains 6 valence electrons which form 2 lone pairs. Since it is bonded to only one carbon atom, it must form a double bond.

Carbon atom contains four valence electrons, resulting in zero lone pairs. Therefore, it is doubly bonded to each oxygen atom

Answer 2

The electrons are represented as dots in the structure. Carbon dioxide is the gas which is made by the combination of carbon and oxygen element. This has 4 valence electrons. This has 6 valance electrons
