Interpretation: Comprehend the molecular view of carbon dioxide gas.
Concept Introduction: The chemical compounds can be classified as covalent compound and ionic compound. Ionic compounds have complete negative and positive charges on it whereas covalent compounds are formed by equal sharing of electrons between bonded atoms.
The molecular view of any molecule represents the atoms bonded in a molecule with
Answer to Problem 2E
Explanation of Solution
Carbon dioxide is a gas with molecular formula CO2. Here two O atoms are bonded with central C atom. There are two double bonds between C and both O atoms. Each O contains two lone pairs whereas C does not carry any lone pair as it forms 4 covalent bonds with two O atoms.
CO2 is a linear molecule with two covalent bonds.
