Explain the formation of (i) oxygen molecule and (ii) ethylene molecule with the help of Lewis dot structure.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain the formation of (i) an oxygen molecule (O₂) and (ii) an ethylene molecule (C₂H₄) using Lewis dot structures, we will follow these steps: ### Formation of Oxygen Molecule (O₂) 1. **Identify the Molecular Formula**: The molecular formula for an oxygen molecule is O₂. 2. **Determine Valence Electrons**: Each oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. Therefore, for two oxygen atoms, the total number of valence electrons is: \[ ...
