The oxygen atoms in carbon dioxide (CO2) form double bonds with the carbon atom,
forming a linear molecule. Draw the structural formula for carbon dioxide. The lines
should be placed at the correct bond angles.

does anybody know what i'm sup-post to do for this?

somy · Answer

u know whats structural formula right?

tmak11 · Answer

kindof. isint it like the dot thing?

anonymous · Answer

It is a formula in which you show every single bond made in a molecule.

somy · Answer

not really but similar  |dw:1426444929613:dw|

anonymous · Answer

Basically are of straight lines.
So for CO2 will be :
O=C=O

somy · Answer

draw this type for CO2

tmak11 · Answer

ohh , i think i understand, than ks both of you

somy · Answer

no problem :)

anonymous · Answer

Right.

tmak11 · Answer

|dw:1426445062016:dw| so for say ammonia it would look like this right?

somy · Answer

more or less 
but in both cases show the lone pairs

somy · Answer

in CO2 show lone pairs of each O 
and in NH3 show lone pair of N
