Question

Write electronic config. Of element with atomic no. 6. Also select any one polyatomic molecule with that element and write its electron dot structure, also find formal charge of that element in the polyatomic molecule.

Answer 1

Atomic number 6 is carbon (C) and it has a total of 6 electrons. The electronic configuration would be:

1s² 2s² 2p²

A common polyatomic molecule containing carbon would be carbon dioxide (CO2). The electron dot (Lewis dot structure) is difficult to draw on this platform, but here is my attempt. Each O will have 2 lone pairs of electrons and will be bonded to the central C atoms by a double bond. The ^^ symbols are only being used as spacers.

.. ^^^^^^^..

O : : C : : O

.. ^^^^^^..

Formal charge on each O is zero

Formal charge on C is zero
