Question

what would be the electron dot structure of carbon dioxide which has the formula co2?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electron dot structures of carbon dioxide:

• 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 electron dot structure of  $CO{2}$ is,
