Lewis Structure of CO2 (carbon dioxide)

Показать описание
Carbon needs two double bonds, one to each of the two oxygens, to complete its octet. The atoms *share* electrons with each other because they are both non-metals (covalent bonding). The results is a LINEAR molecules, VSEPR notation AX2, bond angle 180 degrees.

I have a simple question.

400ppm CO2 (natural + human) minus
16ppm CO2 (human produced CO2) equals
384ppm natural CO2
How much will removing that 16ppm reduce the global temperature?

1:06 "this oxygen already has 2 electrons". How do you know oxygen has 2 electrons?
i guess bond means 2 electrons

I have questions for you, sir
Why both of oxygen have to share the electron to form the double bond? What if only the left oxygen share 2 pair of electron to make a triple bond? It’s still follow the octet rule!!
Can you help me explain this question?
