What is the diameter of carbon dioxide molecule?

Answer 1

This is quite a vague question, so I'll try my best here. Carbon dioxide, CO2 is quite a heavy gas. It has a relative molecular mass of 44 because the R.A.M of C=12 and the R.A.M of O=16x2=32. 1 mole of CO2 contains 6.02x 1023 molecules of CO2. When one compares CO2 to say H2, is becomes very apparent how much larger CO2 is as the Relative molecular mass of H2=2!

Answer 2

The diameter of a oxygen molecule is approximately 3.6 Angstroms. 1 Angstroms = 10e-10meters.

Answer 3

Measurements show the carbon atom to be around 0.22nm in diameter

Answer 4

3.711 Angstrom = 3.711 x 10^-10 meters

Answer 5

Atomic distance in O=C=O is 116.3 pm = 116.3*10-12 m,

so the length is more than 2*(116.3*10-12),

so lenght > 232.6*10-12 m

Answer 6

3.87 * 10 ^-10 m

Answer 7

about 7.27*10^-9 m

Answer 8

3.23 Angstroms

Answer 9

it is 1cm
