Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}\displaystyle \rm O_2 {/eq}.
Question:
Draw the Lewis structure for {eq}\displaystyle \rm O_2 {/eq}.
Lewis Structure :
Lewis structure can be drawn with the help of following steps :
- We need to first find out the number of valence electrons
- By using the atoms involved in a molecule draw a skeleton structure with the help of single bonds
- Remaining electrons should be arranged in such a way that they complete their octet. We can also use multiple bonds.
