CARBON DIOXIDE
O
EACH OXYGEN HAS
2 SINGLE
ELECTRONS, NEEDS
TO SHARE TWO
MORE FOR AN
OCTET, AND TO
RESEMBLE NEON.
C
O
EACH HYBRID CARBON HAS 4 SINGLE ELECTRONS,
NEEDS TO SHARE FOUR MORE FOR AN OCTET, AND
TO RESEMBLE NEON.

O C O
CO2 HAS AN IONIC
CHARACTER OF 0.9,
WHICH IS CONALENT
POLAR
EACH DOUBLE BOND
IS 4 SHARED
ELECTRONS, IS
SHORTER AND
STRONGER THAN
THE SINGLE BOND.
AS WIH ALL COVALENT
COMPOUNDS, CO2 HAS
WEAK ATTRACTIONS,
LOW M.P. AND B.P.AND
IS NEVER CONDUCTIVE.
