Valence Electrons:
Cl = 7e- so 2 Cl = 14e-
C = 4e-
O = 6e-
So there are 24e- to "play with". C usually has 4 bonds to it, so O is double bonded to C, and the Cl atoms are single bonded to it, forming a trigonal planar geometry.
:::Cl\
____C=O::
:::Cl/
The dots around the atoms represent electrons, and they should be circled around the atom they are near, but it's hard to get the spacing right on here. Also, please ignore the underscore next to the C, that was the only way I could get the spacing right.
Hope this helps!
No, the compound Cl2CO, also known as phosgene, is not ionic. It is a covalent compound formed by sharing electrons between the atoms of chlorine and carbon.
Yes. Cl2CO, or carbonyl chloride, has a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which includes one sigma bond and two pi bonds.
With the 5 activation groups, the hybridization of the central atom in the molecules CF4 Cl2CO CH4 CS2 SO2 FCN would be sp3d.
Yes, Cl2CO (phosgene) is a polar molecule. The molecule has a bent shape due to the lone pairs on the central carbon atom, causing an uneven distribution of charge. The electronegativity difference between the carbon and chlorine atoms leads to a polar covalent bond.
Resonance structure.

The Lewis dot structure for germanium (Ge) is: Ge: :Ge:
The Lewis structure of the compound CCLO is as follows: CCCl-O.
The formal charge of the NCO Lewis structure is zero.
No, not exactly. It is an ionic compound so it would not have a Lewis dot structure. However, the carbonate anion, CO3^2- does have a Lewis dot structure.
The molecular geometry of the BR3 Lewis structure is trigonal planar.
The Lewis structure was created by American chemist Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. Lewis proposed using dots to represent the valence electrons of an atom in order to show how atoms bond together in molecules.
Sulfur can form a maximum of six bonds in a Lewis structure.
