What Is The Lewis Structure Of Na2O?
The Lewis structure of Na2O, or sodium oxide, can be represented by the following diagram:
Na - O - Na
In this diagram, the two sodium atoms are each connected to the oxygen atom via a single bond. The oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons surrounding it. The sodium atoms each have one valence electron, which is used to form the bond with the oxygen atom. This Lewis structure satisfies the octet rule for all atoms involved, as each atom has a total of eight electrons (either in the form of shared or lone pairs).
