The behavior of the water molecules change as the pan of water is heated, As the water is heated, the water molecules move faster and farther apart. The molecules change as the water is heated and the water molecules move faster and farther.

How important is the resonance structure shown here to the overall structure of carbon dioxide?

Tcecarenko [31]

1. Resonance structures are a better description of a Lewis dot structure .

2. Best resonance structure is the one with the least formal charge.

EXPLAINATION OF RASONANCE STRUCTURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE

1.Carbon dioxide has three resonance structures .

2. The CO2 molecule has a total of 16 valence electrons ,

1C = 4 electrons

2O= 12 electrons

three resonance structures for CO2

1. The atoms in all three resonance structures have full octets;

structure 1 will be more stable because it has no separation of charge.

2. Structures 2 and 3 show charge separation caused by the presence of formal charges on both oxygen atoms.
