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

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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

Answer 7

.
: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 8

Simple

.

O

Answer 9

O-O-O
