Given information
The resonance structure of carbon dioxide is shown here.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We know that, Lewis dot structure are better described by Resonance structures.
The structures which have the least formal charge is the best resonance structures.
The resonance structure of Carbon dioxide is shown:
This structure shows a charge separation due to the presence of formal charge on both the oxygen atoms.
