How do you draw an electron dot diagram of a water molecule?
The O in H2O has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs(again, 4 total pairs). The electron pair orientation around O is tetrahedral. Two corners of the tetrahedron are "missing" because they are occupied by lone pairs, not atoms. The shape is called bent. The H-O-H bond angle is 104.4°.
How many lone pairs are around the central atom in H2O?
H-O-H Well, the hydrogens bring a total of two valance electrons to the mix and the oxygen contributes six, so the total valance electrons = 8 4 are used in the two bonds, so 8 - 4 = 4 Two lone pair, one above and one below the oxygen in the Lewis dot structure.
Does H2O molecules have two pairs of nonbonding electrons?
There is one electron in hydrogen. And since there is only one, it is obviously unpaired.
The lone pairs in a water molecule cause it to have which shape?
V shaped, corner 105o at centered O atom
How many unpaired electron s are present in CO?
:C triple bond O: This is the most prevalent dot structure (others also exist). In this there are 2 lone pairs (one on C and one on O)
How many lone pairs does mgco3 have?
Six lone pairs (2 on each O), and two ionic pairs on two separate -O- 's, binding to Mg2+ion.
How many lone pairs in C2H2Cl2O?
8 - three on each Cl, two on the O
How many electron pairs does CO2 have?
A molecule of CO2 contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen forming a compound or molecule (pure substance) of Carbon dioxide. In order to find out how many lone pairs are in the molecule, you have to look at how many valence electrons you're working with. Carbon has 4 and Oxygen has 6 per atom x 2 giving us 12. 12+4 = 16e. Since carbon has 4, it must share a double bond with oxygen on each side to form a stable structure. Since this is a linear shape and the charges are facing away from each other, the bond is Nonpolar._ _|O=C=O|The answer to your question is four
What is the Lewis dot for HONO?
H-o-n=o Double bonding with 18 valence electron
How many lone pairs of electrons are there in the ClO3- ion?
Chlorine (nucleus) has 1 lone pair and 3 polar-covalent bonding pairs (the shared pairs with O). Each oxygen (nucleus) has 3 lone pairs and 1 polar-covalent bonding pair (the shared pair with Cl)
What is the molecular geometry of o2f2 or diflouride oxide?
F-O-O-F Each oxygen has 2 lone pairs on it, while each fluorine has 3 lone pairs. Because of the 3 lone pairs on each oxygen, the bonding angles present are 109.5°.
Can oxygen make coordinate covalent bond with both of its lone pairs?
O=O Sure.
What is the Lewis dot structure of chlorine monoxide?

What is the Lewis structure for HClO4?
"Central Cl atom, single bonded to 4 Oxygen atoms. Each oxygen has a formal charge -1 and 3 lone pairs. Cl has a formal charge of +3. bonded in tehrahedral"A better structure is central C atom, 3 double bonds to 3 O atoms with two lone pairs each and one single bond to one O atom with three lone pairs. Only the single bonded oxygen has a formal charge of -1, limiting formal change. This still has a tetrahedral shape.

Shape of h2o2?
We can draw it as H-O-O-H . However it is NOT linear molecule. The two H-O bonds are angled to the O-O bonds by about 94.8 o. Then the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygens repulse each other, so this twists the H-O bonds into two different planes , with and angler of 115 o between each plabne. So it is actually a 3-dimensional molecule. Have a look in Wikipedia under Hydrogen peroxide.
How many lone pairs are around the central atom in H2O?
H-O-H Well, the hydrogens bring a total of two valance electrons to the mix and the oxygen contributes six, so the total valance electrons = 8 4 are used in the two bonds, so 8 - 4 = 4 Two lone pair, one above and one below the oxygen in the Lewis dot structure.
