Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Formation of one single bond is possible for an oxygen atom or not has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
All the atoms try to attain the octet configuration. They either gain or lose electrons, or share the electrons to get the stable octet structure. Covalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
Formation of two single bonds is possible for an oxygen atom or not has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
All the atoms try to attain the octet configuration. They either gain or lose electrons, or share the electrons to get the stable octet structure. Covalent bonds are formed by mutual sharing of electrons between the atoms.
(c)
Interpretation:
Formation of one double bond is possible for an oxygen atom or not has to be given.
