How many bonding electrons are in the lewis structure of carbon monoxide, co?
2 answers:
Answer:
6
Explanation:
The Lewis structure represents the valence electrons at the atoms, which ones are shared and the lone pairs. Carbon is at group 4 at the periodic table, and so has 4 electrons in the valence shell; oxygen is at group 6, and so has 6 electrons at the valence shell.
That compound is an exception of the octet rule. A triple bond is done between the atoms, and so, 3 electrons of carbon are shared and 3 electrons of oxygen are shared. Thus, there are 6 bonding electrons, as shown below in red.

In order to find the answer you must plug in the information to the frequency equation, 
. C is the speed of light, 3.0 x 10^8. By plugging in the information you receive a frequency of 3.0 x 10^7 hz.
The question is incomplete, complete question is :
In an organic structure, you can classify each of the carbons as follows: Primary carbon (1°) = carbon bonded to just 1 other carbon group Secondary carbon (2°) = carbon bonded to 2 other carbon groups Tertiary carbon (3°) = carbon bonded to 3 other carbon groups Quaternary carbon (4°) = carbon bonded to 4 other carbon groups How many carbons of each classification are in the structure below? How many total carbons are in the structure? How many primary carbons are in the structure? How many secondary carbons are in the structure? How many tertiary carbons are in the structure? How many quaternary carbons are in the structure?
Structure is given in an image?
Answer:
There are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.
Explanation:
Total numbers of carbon = 10
Number of primary carbons that is carbon joined to just single carbon atom = 6
Number of secondary carbons that is carbon joined to two carbon atoms = 1
Number of tertiary carbons that is carbon joined to three carbon atoms = 2
Number of quartenary carbons that is carbon joined to four carbon atoms = 1
So, there are 10 carbon atoms in the given structures out of which 6 are 1° , 1 is 2° , 2 are 3° and 1 is 4°.
