Use your knowledge of valence electrons and how they affect bonds to figure out how carbon (Group 14) and oxygen (Group 16) would be attached to one another. In carbon dioxide (CO2), how is the compound structured? (Use “–” to represent a single bond and “=” to represent a double bond.)

Question

Answer 2

What do you mean quick check? If you want me to check you answer you need to tell me your answer.

Answer 3

1. Two
2. An atom wants a full outer shell of valence electrons
3. O=C=O
4. No, because needs four bonds
5. H-O-O-H
