How do you know when to draw a solid wedge vs a dashed wedge when drawing 3D bond-line structures? I know that solid-wedge means the atom is pointing towards you and dashed wedge means it's in the back, but how do you know which atoms are in the front as opposed to the back? How can you tell what the configuration will look like in space just by looking at the lewis structure or name?
Complete the following statements about the molecule COS. Please note that ALL atoms in this molecule obey the octet rule.
The molecule COS has total valence electrons.
The molecule COS should be drawn with C in the middle, O to the left of the C, and S to the right of the C.
After drawing the Lewis structure for COS using the above information, it is evident that the three-dimensional shape (or geometry) of the molecule is , with a bond angle of degrees.
