What is the Lewis electron dot structure of oxygen?

Answer 1

this was done the best i could with basic Word. the lines represent lone pairs the dashes between the element are bonds. ozone is a resonance so there are 2 answers _ _ _ _ _ _

|O=O-O| or |O=O-O|

Answer 2

The Lewis electron dot structure of oxygen consists of two valence electrons represented as dots on each side of the symbol "O". This reflects the two lone pairs of electrons present in the oxygen atom.

Answer 3

Lewis dots are diagrams showing the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the remaining lone pairs of electrons in the molecule. The Lewis dot structure for oxygen is O with two dots on the left side, two dots on the top, and one dot on both the right and bottom sides.

Answer 4

O3 is called ozone and it looks like this:

O = O - O

The dots go around the oxygens in order of how many more they need to make 8.

The other answer for this is

O - O = O

and then fill in the other missing 10 dots again.

Ozone's resonance (the formal way to show the movement of the double bond) looks like this except w/o the correctly placed dots.

O = O - O <----> O - O = O

Answer 5

In this case, you must be referring to molecular oxygen gas, which naturally exists as O2 rather than just O. In this case, the dot structure would be approximately

::O=O::

(This is not technically correct, as one lone pair of each O atom should be drawn above rather than beside the O symbol, but there is no neat facility to do so here. You'll find a better diagram in the Lewis structure article on Wikipedia).

Answer 6

O

:O O: this structure better resembles the "rules" of the lewis dot structure as all of the charges on the atoms equal 0 however since oxygen is only in the 2nd period it doesnt have access to the d orbital therefore it can not have an expanded octet as it does here on the central atom. so the 2 resonance structures found in nature actually do have charges on 2 of the molecules

Answer 7

Structure of Ozone is so like mathematical, its just like a triangle. each corner contains a Oxygen with single bond on either sides,

Answer 8

.
:O:
'

It has 6 valence electrons, so I placed two dots on either side of the element's symbol and one dot on top and one dot on the bottom.

Answer 9

Simple

.

O

Answer 10

O-O-O
