The correct Lewis structure for CO2 shows that the molecule contains two double bonds. (T/F) - answer
✔✔-TRUE



The correct Lewis structure for CO2 shows that the carbon atom has two sets of lone pair electrons.
(T/F) - answer ✔✔-FALSE

,When calculating the number of electrons for the Lewis structure of a polyatomic ion, you must add one
electron for each negative charge and subtract one electron for each positive charge. (T/F) - answer

CO2 measures 180°. (T/F) - answer ✔✔-TRUE



The VSEPR theory predicts that the H-C-H angle in CH4 measures 120°. (T/F) - answer ✔✔-FALSE
