The Carbon contributes 4 valance electrons and each oxygen contributes 6 valance electrons for a total of 16. Start by putting the Carbon in the middle of the two Oxygens. Each oxygen will have a double bond connecting it to the C in the middle. The left over valance electrons will be put on the oxygens. For drawing purposes you could put two dots on the top and two dots on the bottom of each oxygen. Since I can't draw it out for you here it will look roughly like this:
::O=C=O::
The only difference is that instead of having the four dots together on the Oxygens, like I said above, you would put two dots on the top and two dots on the bottom of each Oxygen. If you count the dots and bonds, each element has the 8 valance electrons that it wants and you have used all 16 that you needed to.

Draw the electron-dot structure for HBr?
The electron-dot structure for HBr would be:H:Br: (with two more pairs of dots on the top and bottom of Br)
How would you draw an electron cross structure for ethene?
H x dot C ::: C dot x HWhere dot represents carbon electrons and x represents hydrogen electrons.
How do you draw an atomic structure of a diamond?
How to draw the structure is hard to do over text. However, I will explain the structure to you the best that I can. Diamonds are made up exclusively of carbon atoms. Each carbon atom shares an electron with 4 other carbon atoms forming 4 single bonds and each of those 4 carbons share 3 electrons with 3 carbons this continues in a 3D plane where the diamond is to the size that you require. they are hard to draw accurately with out a program to assist you, the program allows you to see the structure in space to see what carbons are likely to bind to already drawn carbons. There are tutorials readily available that take you through the structure step by step.
What is the Lewis dot structure for an carbon?
CO2 . .___. . O::C::O . .___. . This is the Lewis Dot Structure for carbon dioxide. Both oxygens have 6e-, and carbon has 4. Each oxygen in this has two lone pairs and has a double connection with the carbon. This gives both oxygens and the carbon sets of 8 (Rule of Octets). Double-check by calculating the formal charges; they all come out to 0.
What is the hybridization of the central sulfur atom in SF4?
It should be sp3d. first draw the Lewis structure. then you can see the central S atom has 4 bonding pair and 1 lone pair. then draw molecular orbital. Distribute electron according the bonding and lone pair. the paired electron represent lone pair in Lewis structure. and the other unpaired electron distribute in the molecular orbital represent the number of bonding pair in Lewis structure

Where does the carbon come from that plants use to produce carbon dioxide?
The carbon in plants come from the carbon found in carbon dioxide (CO2). As plants undergo photosynthesis they draw in water through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air through specialized structures called stomates. So the inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide becomes organic carbon making up the oils, carbohydrates and proteins found in plants.

Draw and explain the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
If you google "diagram oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle", from the image search, you'll see tons of diagrams. I tried to post one, in response to your question, but some rude person deleted it without any explanation.
How many electrons shared between carbon and oxygen atom in carbon dioxide?
Two electrons 'at one side' of carbon are shared with 2 electrons of one oxygen atom, forming a double bond (each bond is formed one pair of electrons), at the other side the same is happening to the other two 'carbon' electrons with the second O atom. Usually each pair of electrons is drawn by a short line (horizontally, sometimes also vertically) to draw the molecular bonding structure: For carbon dioxide O=C=O or in dots (one for each electron) O::C::O
How the dolphins breathe?
Dolphins breathe through the 'blow hole' in the top of their heads, surfacing from underwater to blow out the Carbon Dioxide and draw in oxygen.
