In a Lewis dot diagram for carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon is represented with an "x" surrounded by four dots (2 pairs) representing the two double bonds it forms with the two oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms are each represented by an "O" with six dots around them (2 lone pairs and one bond pair with carbon).
The Lewis dot diagram for carbon monoxide (CO) shows a carbon atom with four valence electrons and an oxygen atom with six valence electrons. The carbon atom shares two electrons with the oxygen atom, forming a double bond.
The Lewis dot diagram for carbon monoxide (CO) shows a carbon atom with four valence electrons and an oxygen atom with six valence electrons. The carbon atom shares two electrons with the oxygen atom, forming a double bond.
The Lewis dot diagram of acetylene (C2H2) consists of two carbon atoms triple-bonded together, each with one hydrogen atom attached. Each carbon atom also has two lone pairs of electrons.
The Lewis dot diagram for chloroform (CHCl3) has a central carbon atom surrounded by one hydrogen atom and three chlorine atoms. The carbon atom shares single bonds with each of the four surrounding atoms, resulting in a tetrahedral shape. The diagram shows all shared valence electrons between the atoms.
An electron dot diagram, also known as Lewis dot diagram, uses dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom.
