How to determine the Lewis dot structure of O2?
Dude Changed status to publish February 8, 2022
In the Lewis structure for oxygen, there is an octet of electrons in the valence shell. In order to come up with the correct Lewis dot diagram one must take a look at how many atoms are in each row and electron configuration. Though this rule may not seem necessary for smaller molecules with lower atom arrangements, it is important because when we get into more complicated larger structures that contain different numbers of atoms per row or no rows at all then it becomes much less obvious what should be done without looking specifically at exactly what is being asked to fill out.
