1. What would be the electron dot structure of carbon dioxide which has the formula \(CO_2\)?
The carbon dioxide molecule, a three-atom molecule, has two oxygen atoms surrounding the primary carbon atom. Due to the compatibility of their p orbitals, carbon and oxygen can interact. According to the valence bond theory, carbon has bonds while oxygen has two.
2. What would be the electron dot structure of a molecule of sulphur which is made up of eight atoms of sulphur?
(Hint – The eight atoms of sulphur are joined together in the form of a ring.)
(Hint – The eight atoms of sulphur are joined together in the form of a ring.)
The sulphur atom has valence electrons. S8 is the chemical formula for the molecule of sulphur. Each sulphur atom forms an with an identical atom on either side via a single covalent link. The molecule features a crown shape in addition to its ring shape.
