Question

Write the electron dot structure of carbon dioxide which has the formula co2

Answer 1

Answer:

The  dot structure of CO2:

In the dot structure of CO2 there are eight electrons around each of the Carbon and Oxygen atom.

Explanation:

This is a Short form of answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

In carbon dioxide molecule, the two oxygen atoms are bonded on either side with carbon atom by double bonds.

Thus there are 2 double bonds in CO2. Carbon share its two electrons In the formation of a double bond with one oxygen atom and another two electrons with another oxygen atom.

In this process, both the oxygen atoms and the carbon atom acquire the stable electronic configuration of the double gas neon. The formation of CO2 molecule is shown above. Valencies of C and O are 4 and 6 respectively...
