:CO draw 2 of the electrons to the left of carbon then 2 to the right and then draw 2 electrons of oxygen to its left and then the other 4 around the other sides of oxygen and draw a circle around the 2 electrons shared with carbon and the 6 existing electrons of oxygen then draw a circle around the 4 electrons carbon has and the 2 it shares with oxygen and after you've done all that, draw a bracket around the molecule and write -2 in superscript signifying that its net charge is -2

∙ 9y agoThe Lewis dot structure for CO2 starts with a C atom in the center. On the left and right sides are doubly bonded O atoms. Each one of these O atoms has a pair of dots on the top and bottom.

∙ 8y agoThe Lewis dot structure looks at the valence electrons of each atom. So, for C, with four valence electrons it would be C with a dot on top, bottom, left and right.

When you draw the Lewis structure for Cl how many odd electrons are there in this atom?
Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?

How do you draw the Lewis structure for an acetate ion?
I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.

What is the Lewis structure for calcium nitride?
CaCO3 does not have a lewis structure because this molecule is composed of ions. (Ca+2 and CO3-2). you have to draw the lewis structure of the ions separately, as shown in the parenthesis.

Lewis structure for cobalt chlorit
Is PH3 a Lewis acid or base?
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
