Carbon dioxide, or CO2.
Carbon and oxygen. One atom of carbon, two atoms of oxygen.
Carbon dioxide has a molecular formula CO2. A single molecule of Carbon dioxide contains one molecule of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. The carbon atom is bonded with the two oxygen atoms in a double bond.
CO2 consists of TWO(2) elements. viz. Carbon and oxygen. CO2 consist of THREE(3) atoms. viz. 1 x Carbon and 2 x Oxygen. The name of CO2 is 'Carbon Dioxide'. The arrangement of the atoms is ' O=C=O '. That is an oxygen is doubly bonded to the carbon , which in turn is doubly bonded to the other oxygen.
Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, has one Carbon molecule and two Oxygen molecules.
It is sort of tricky question. One molecule of carbon can combine with only one molecule of oxygen. It can not combine with two molecules of oxygen. Incidentally one molecule of carbon is composed of one atom of carbon. One molecule of oxygen is composed of two atoms of oxygen.
When something is burned (such as fuel, which contains carbon), a reaction takes place. Light, heat and physical force (in the case of an engine) are produced and oxygen is added. Recall that matter is not created nor destroyed, only converted. So when we add oxygen, it combines with the carbon to produce either carbon monoxide (one carbon one oxygen) or carbon dioxide (one carbon two oxygen).
A chemistry related answer: It contains elements Carbon and Oxygen, and together they make Carbon Dioxide (CO2). One carbon, and two oxygen molecules..
Two in carbon MONoxide (1 Carbon + 1 Oxygen -->MONO-oxide ) Three in carbon DIoxide (1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen -->DIoxide )
No, carbon dioxide is not the same as oxygen (O2). Carbon dioxide is a molecule composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (CO2). Oxygen, on the other hand, exists as O2, where two oxygen atoms are bonded together.
