Consider the proposed structure of carbon dioxide. Determine whether the structure is correct and justify your decision. Select one: This structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons. This structure is correct due to allowed exceptions to the octet rule for the involved atoms. This structure is incorrect due to the total number of electrons for the involved atoms. This structure is incorrect because the octet rule is not fulfilled for all the atoms.

The question is incomplete, the complete question is found in the image attached to this answer

This structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons.

Explanation:

We know that all atoms in a compound are expected to obey the octet rule and we use this rule to ascertain the correctness of any chemical structure.

The structure of carbon IV oxide drawn perfectly satisfies the octet rule for each atom. Each atom in the molecule has eight electrons around its valence shell.

Therefore,since CO2 has sixteen valence electrons, we can conclude that; this structure is correct due to the total number of bonds and electrons.
