Chapter 18, Problem 31E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Each orbital in the given figure of carbon dioxide should be labelled and the Lewis structure for the same needs to be drawn. Also, the bonding in ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ needs to be described using LE model

Concept Introduction: According to LE model (Localized Electron Model), a molecule is assumed to be a collection of atoms that are bound together via sharing of electrons between the atomic orbitals.
