Hello students, in this question we have to draw the lewis dot structure of the polyatomic carbonate anion with its resonance structure.
00:08
So, the polyatomic carbonate anion is co3 2-.
00:12
Now, we are going to calculate the number of valence electron which is given by the number of valence electron in carbon is 4 and in oxygen it is 6.
00:22
Therefore, 3 into 6 and minus 2 will adds 2 electron.
00:26
So, on summing up this we will get the number of valence electron will be equal to 24 electron.
00:32
So, here the carbon is the central atom.
00:36
So, with the 4 valence electron of which 2 is bonded to 1 oxygen atom and thereby forms the double bond with this oxygen atom and the rest of the lone pairs of oxygen atom will be 2 and the 1 will be shared with the one of the oxygen atom and the of the 6 valence electron of the oxygen here is the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and one of the 2 electron adds here.
01:10
So, coming to the next oxygen atom so which will be same as this oxygen atom...
