Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}\text {CO} {/eq}.
Question:
Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}\text {CO} {/eq}.
Lewis Structure:
Lewis structure is the dot representation of a molecule in which dots are used to illustrate the electrons present in the atoms. The lone pairs (lp) and bond pairs (bp) can be predicted from the Lewis structure.
