A fill-in chart to be used with multiple HW sets has been provided in the description of the HW. Fill in this chart as you answer this question. It already has the valence numbers of electrons because you worked those out in the last homework set. Draw these Lewis dot structures and match with the description with your structure. They will all have at least one double or triple bond. Push submit after this problem to check your answers. Do not continue until you get this one correct. Question 3 options: CO2 Double check formal charge in this structure. CH2O Remember that hydrogen atoms can only form 1 bond! CO32- C2H2 Remember that hydrogen atoms can only form 1 bond! 1. The central atom has two single bonds and one double bond. 2. The central atom has two double bonds. *NOTE: This structure could be drawn with a single and triple bond also BUT formal charge will show that isn't the best structure.* 3. The central atoms has one double bond, two single bonds, and one lone pair. 4. There are two central atoms and each has a triple bond and single bond. 5. The central atoms has two double bonds and one lone pair. (This was corrected for formal charge.)
