Question

7. Draw the Lewis structure and draw a sketch of the hybridization and bonding scheme for phosgene, COCl$_2$. Carbon is the central atom. Clearly identify overlapping orbitals and label all bonds using appropriate notation. You may choose to hybridize the terminal atoms if you wish, but it is not necessary to do so.

Step 1

Carbon is the central atom. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, Oxygen has 6, and each Chlorine has 7. The total number of valence electrons is 4 + 6 + 7 + 7 = 24. The Lewis structure will have a double bond between C and O, and single bonds between C and each Cl. Show more…
