Question

g. Use lone pair electrons to make an additional bond between the O atoms. Indicate the bonds with straight lines between the oxygen atoms, and leave the remaining pairs of electrons on each atom. o O h. Does each of the O atoms have an octet of electrons? The structure for O2 is now complete. Oxygen gas consists of 2 oxygen atoms, joined by a double bond. Each oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons. 2. Determine the Lewis structure of CO2, carbon dioxide. a. Total valence electrons Draw the least electronegative atom in the center of the molecule and use pairs of electrons to bond the 3 atoms. Use a line to indicate a bond. b. C. Number of remaining electrons = d. Draw these in pairs around the outside atoms. e. Do all of the atoms have octets? f. Move lone pair electrons into bonding electrons until every atom has 8 valence electrons. Draw the bonding of CO2. 3. Write the total number of valence electrons for N2, nitrogen gas, and then dra Lewis structure. w its

Explanation / Answer

g)O-O

h) Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so when there is only a single bind between the two oxygens the octets are not complete.It willbe complete only when there is a double bond when the two electrons contributed by eachoxgen for the bond formation leads to completion of the octet
