AI Generated Solution

To draw the Lewis dot structure of the carbon monoxide (CO) molecule, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the Valence Electrons**: - Carbon (C) has an atomic number of 6, with the electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p². This means carbon has 4 valence electrons (2 from the 2s subshell and 2 from the 2p subshell). - Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8, with the electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁴. This means oxygen has 6 valence electrons (2 from the 2s subshell and 4 from the 2p subshell). ...
