(a) The dot-and-cross diagram of the simplified LDQ structure of digermyne. The nuclei are as indicated and the electrons are denoted by either dots or crosses, depending on their relative spins. The ellipse in the centre indicates the relative disposition of the electrons around the germanium-germanium internuclear axis.
[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
The term, "molecular model" refer to systems that contain one or more explicit atoms (although solvent atoms may be represented implicitly) and where nuclear structure is neglected. The electronic structure is often also omitted unless it is necessary in illustrating the function of the molecule being modeled.
The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.

While the Boudouard reaction is used deliberately in some processes, it is undesired in others. In the gas cooled, graphite moderated British nuclear reactors (Magnox and AGR) reaction between the CO 2 coolant and the graphite moderator had to be avoided or at least kept to a minimum.
For a diatomic molecule, an MO diagram effectively shows the energetics of the bond between the two atoms, whose AO unbonded energies are shown on the sides. For simple polyatomic molecules with a "central atom" such as methane (CH 4) or carbon dioxide (CO 2), a MO diagram may show one of the identical bonds to the central atom. For other ...
