The Lewis dot model provides information about the bonding between atoms, including the presence of covalent bonds, but it does not convey certain details.
Among the provided options, the correct response indicating what is NOT provided by the Lewis dot model for carbon dioxide (CO2) is:
**C. The arrangement of the atoms of each element in the compound.**
The Lewis dot structure mainly shows how many valence electrons are present and how they are shared in the form of dots, but it does not explicitly define the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms in space.
