Consider each possible structure of carbon dioxide, c o 2. Determine whether the structure is correct and justify your decision.
Thisstructureiscorrectdue to the total number ofbonds and electronsWe employ theoctet rule, which states that all atoms in a compound are expected to follow, to check the accuracy of anychemical structure. The octet rule ispreciselysatisfied for each atom in the depicted structure ofcarbonIV oxide. The valence shell of each atom in the molecule is surrounded by eight electrons. We may thus infer that thisstructureis accurate given the total number of bonds and electrons since CO2 has sixteenvalence electrons.It possesses anegative chargeof 1.602176634 coulombs, the basic unit of electric charge, which is comparable to its negative charge. The rest mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 10^-31 kg, or just 1/1,836 the mass of a proton. Anelectronis therefore considered to have practically negligible mass incomparisonto a proton or neutron, and its matter is not taken into consideration when calculating anatom's massnumber.The question is incomplete, the complete question is found in the image attached to this answerTo know more aboutbondsvisit :brainly.com/question/13190131#SPJ4...
