No CO2 is carbon dioxide, which is a compound consisting of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Carbon dioxide is what you breathe out and what is produced by cars. O2 is simply atmospheric oxygen (what you breathe in). Most oxygen exists as two oxygen atoms bonded together.

∙ 14y agoAn oxygen molecule is an element. A carbon dioxide molecule is a compound because it is made of 2 elements, Carbon and Oxygen.

∙ 14y agoYes, O2 looks like this O=O and CO2 looks like this: O=C=O. So the CO2 molecules are larger.

Molecules of hydrogen escape from earth but molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are held to the surface why?
Molecules of Hydrogen are less dense than oxygen and nitrogen so gravity keeps the oxygen and nitrogen inside the atmosphere.
In nitrogen fixation what 2 molecules are produced so that nitrogen is in a useable form?
nitrogen and oxygen
How many molecules of oxygen are in nitrogen dioxide?
Two with one atom of Nitrogen
What mass of oxygen contain the same number of molecule as 42g of nitrogen?
Both nitrogen and oxygen exist at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules. Therefore, the relative masses of equal numbers of molecules of the substance will the same as the ratios of their atomic masses, which are 15.9994 for oxygen and 14.0067 for nitrogen. The mass of oxygen that contains the same number of molecules as 42 g of nitrogen is 42(15.9994/14.0067) or 48 g, to the justified number of significant digits.
What kind of bonds do the atoms in molecules of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas held together?
Oxygen and Nitrogen are both nonmetals so they would form covalent bonds.
Molecules of hydrogen escape from earth but molecules of oxygen and nitrogen are held to the surface why?
Molecules of Hydrogen are less dense than oxygen and nitrogen so gravity keeps the oxygen and nitrogen inside the atmosphere.
What air molecules?
air molecules are , nitrogen , oxygen, and carbon dioxide mosly nitrogen (75%)
Are not molecules?
Oxygen, hydrogen , nitrogen atoms etc. are not molecules .
What is a form of oxygen that is produced when nitrogen dioxide reacts with sunlight and oxygen molecules?
nitrogen oxide
What is nitrogen dioxide made of?
Nitrogen dioxide says it all...nitrogen and oxygen. How many oxygen molecules? "Di" means "two".
In nitrogen fixation what 2 molecules are produced so that nitrogen is in a useable form?
nitrogen and oxygen
How many molecules of oxygen are in nitrogen dioxide?
Two with one atom of Nitrogen
What 2 molecules are produced so that nitrogen is in a useable form?
nitrogen and oxygen
What are the two ions found in water molecules called?
nitrogen & oxygen. 75% nitrogen & 2 sumthing % oxygen.
Does nitrogen oxygen neon carbon dioxide water or methane have molecules?
Yes, they do have molecules. In fact everything is made up of molecules even gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen ect.
What are Aires'?
air molecules are , nitrogen , oxygen, and carbon dioxide mosly nitrogen (75%)
How would you know from looking at the periodic table that O molecules are smaller than nitrogen molecules?
Oxygen and nitrogen are in the same period of the table, and within a period, atomic radius decreases with increasing atomic number. Oxygen has a higher atomic number than nitrogen. From the periodic table alone, there is no direct information about the size of the molecules, but both these elements form diatomic molecules, and it is reasonable that molecules formed from the same number of atoms will have sizes in the same order as the sizes of the atoms.
