Carbon Monoxide: CO Draw the Lewis structure: Report the number of bonding elect

Question

Carbon Monoxide: CO Draw the Lewis structure: Report the number of bonding electron pairs on C = on O = Report the number of non-bonding electron pairs on C =, on O = Report the total number of electron pairs on C =, on O = Report the number of electron sets on C =, on O = Name the electron set distribution about C, about O; Name the geometrical shape for this diatomic molecule: Make a model of the molecule, have your TA approve it, and then sketch the 3-D model below using dashes and wedges where necessary.

Explanation / Answer

b- bonding electron pairs are valance electron which participate in bond formation. So C has 2 pairs of electron and O has 3 pairs of electron.

c- Non bonding electron pair which dose not involve in bond formation so C has 1 and O has 1.

d- total no. of electron pair = Bonding pairs + non bonding pairs so for C= 2+1=3 and for O = 3+1=4

e- no of electon sets means type of electrons so C has 3 sets of electron that is 1S 2S and 2P and O als has the same.
