Chapter 13, Problem 131AE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The complete molecular structure and name of ${\text{CO}}_2$ molecule needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Lewis dot structure is the representation which shows the bonding between atoms present in a molecule. It shows lone pairs and bond pairs that existing on each bonded atom. Lewis dot structure is also known as Lewis dot formula or electron dot structure.

The hybridization and molecular structure of molecule determine the molecular structure of molecule.

  $\text{Hybridization = Number of sigma bonds + Number of lone pairs on bonded atoms}\text{.}$

In the naming of covalent compounds, the name of elements must come with appropriate prefix which denote the number of atoms like di-, tri- etc.

(b)
