We can draw three inequivalent Lewis structures for carbon dioxide CO concepts of formal charge and electronegativity can help us choose the structure that is the most significant representation 1 Assign formal charges to the elements in each of the structures below Formal Charge 01 C 02 0 C 0 A 0 C 0 B 0 C 0 C 2 The structure that contributes most significantly to the overall electronic of CO2 is
