Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of the valency electrons

Question

Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of the valency electrons in one molecule of the covalent compound carbon dioxide. Use x to represent an electron from a carbon atom. Use o to represent an electron from an oxygen atom.

Answer 1

We cannot easily draw on this platform, but this is what the solution would look like, to the best of my ability to describe it.

O = C = O

Oº_xº_x Cº_xº_xO and then put 4 circles (º) around each of the oxygen atoms. This is the best I can do on this platform.
