(a) Construct a Lewis structure for O2 in which each atom
Chapter 5, Problem 35E(choose chapter or problem)
(a) Construct a Lewis structure for \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) in which each atom achieves an octet of electrons.
(b) Explain why it is necessary to form a double bond in the Lewis structure.
(c) The bond in \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) is shorter than the \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}\) bond in compounds that contain an \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{O}\) single bond. Explain this observation.
