What does the Lewis structure of O2 look like?

Answer 1

In nature, the Lewis structure for oxygen exists this way so it could react with other elements and in nature, it is a gas so it exists as O2 . As you can see, O2, each oxygen is connected by a single bond, each gets two octets, and on the bottom of each O, each O has one unpaired electron. Oxygen is set up this way in nature as its Lewis structure so it could react with other elements.

.. ..:O-O:. .

Just how in nature, e.g., the Lewis structure for Nitrogen (gas element, therefore, N2) exists this way with a triple bond:

:N≡N:

Is there a reason you think that your two lone electrons don't form a pi bond and create a double bond? (which it does) Therefore satisfying the octet rule.

Answer 2

The Lewis structure of O2, dioxygen, consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together by a double bond. Each oxygen atom has six valence electrons, resulting in a total of 12 valence electrons in the molecule.

Answer 4

O=O with the other six dots surrounding the O's. The oxygen share a double bond in the middle.

Answer 5

H-O-O-H
