Question

1.Identify the types of bonds between the carbon and the two oxogen molecules in the carbon dioxide molecule

2.then describe the bond angle
3. Explain how the structural formula can be used to determine bond angles .

Answer 1

1.covalent bond
2A bond angle is the angle between two bonds originating from the same atom in a covalent species
3. 1.Write the Lewis dot structure for the molecule.
2.Use the steric number and VSEPR theory to determine the electron domain geometry of the molecule.
3. Use the VSEPR shape to determine the angles between the electron domains.
