Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Representations

Examine each representation of the oxygen molecule (O₂) in the figure:

  1. Electron configuration
  2. Structural formula
  3. Space-filling model
  4. Ball-and-stick model
Step 2: Determine Double Bond Representation

Check each representation to see if it clearly shows a double bond for the oxygen molecule:

  1. Electron configuration: Shows two pairs of shared electrons, indicating a double bond.
  2. Structural formula: Shows a double line between the oxygen atoms, indicating a double bond.
  3. Space-filling model: Shows the shape of the molecule but does not clearly indicate the type of bond.
  4. Ball-and-stick model: Shows two sticks (bonds) between the oxygen atoms, indicating a double bond.
Step 3: Identify the Exception

Identify which representation does not clearly show the double bond:

  • The space-filling model does not clearly show the double bond.

Final Answer

The space-filling model is the exception as it does not clearly show double bonds for the oxygen molecule.
