00:01 So we have carbon has 4 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
00:13 Then we can represent each electron as a dot.
00:18 So for carbon we have 4 dots, and for oxygen we have 6 dots.
00:26 So the octet rule requires each electron to have 8 electrons.
00:32 So oxygen and carbon must share the electron to each other...
