Lewis Structure of CO (Carbon Monoxide)

Best minute and a half of my life! For being such a simple compound, I was baffled for an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out what to do with it

❤

I thought there was a coordinate bond too

I really appreciate your brilliant explanation. Although my mother tongue is not English but I understood because you explained perfectly. Thank you so much

10 years of helping a kid

Beautiful explanation

Wrong

Wow, thank you for the video Sir.

I can't understand!! Please help me..

I was confused about this alot
Thank you so much

your explanation was shite

10 Years later, this video is still helping students. Thank you.

It is wrong structure

Thank you sir my school teacher couldn't explain it properly

Thanks ❤

That's the fukkin' way she goes, boys.

Does no one realize how this is completely wrong

I honestly still don't understand because one bond represents two electrons bonded , one from oxygen the other from carbon....in this case we have 3 bonds meaning 3e from oxygen bonded with 3e from carbon and when you add the electrons around the C atom it now sums up to 5e when include the lone pair of electrons or are we suppose to assume that the electron pair from the O atom was shared amongst the two atoms and the two atoms didn't meet each other half way such that one atom brings one and the other brings one to form a bond?

Best way of explaining!

But o to 2bond karta h

Thanks 👍

What is about charge produced on the atoms in molecule?

shouldn't CO have 2 coordinate bonds then ?

its wrong totally wrong

Good explanation thank you

This seems wrong as the structure that you have drawn shows five electrons in carbon’s valence shell and again five electrons in oxygen’s valence shell, which is not possible right ?

Lots of love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Nice

Thank you sir
I don't know English very well
But I understand this very easily ❣️

this bonds is so wrong in the tet books , cause this is not a covalent bond , there are coordinate bonds as well here , there is a covalent double bond and 2 coordinate bonds ,

the first bond is a coordinate bond as oygen dosent share anything

Thanks a lot.

You a badass man

thanks buddy

Great

Legend are watching 2022

But wait :q Now oxygen and carbon both still have formal charges :q Shouldn't we cancel them? :q

Oh I couldn't understood this before thnaku very much for ur clear explain ♥️

You save my life! Thank you!!!!! You explained very very well

Thank you very much

explained ina minute what my chem. professor didn't manage to do in 2 hours

This got me through some tough times thanks chemist Nate I luv you

What about formal charge? Doesn’t the carbon need only 4 electrons right around and the oxygen needs only 6 electrons right around it?

why dont u make 4 pounds betwean them and o (oxcegen) take the left pair ????....please tell me I need help

Hi

But how do you know to automatically fill oxygen with as much as possible first? Because it's more electro negative? Is this always the case? What I mean is, why not start out with the single bond, then putting only 5 around oxygen and 3 around carbon as would be according to their respective valence electrons?

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

But how oxygen can make 3 bonds?

Thanks

Wow❤️
