Draw the lewis structure of co. include lone pairs and formal charges.

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, Lewis structures are representations showing the elements valence electrons and how they are connected with other elements throughout lines (bonds). Thus, for carbon, which has four valence electrons, and oxygen, which has six valence electrons (by looking their groups), the Lewis structure is shown on the attached picture wherein it is seen the presence of a double bond in order to attain the octet (8 electrons in total for both carbon and oxygen)

Best regards.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
