Two oxygen atoms hooking up with a lone carbon atom equals......carbon dioxide!!
To be truthful, Oxygen is usually found as a diatomic element (O2), so when it goes though bonding with a non-metal (such as carbon), it becomes carbon dioxide, the di- indicating that in this covalent bond, there are two oxygen atoms. Nitrogen Dioxide forms in the same manner.
Plants use the carbon dioxide to make food.
No, they use carbon dioxide to make oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is composed of one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. The elements used to make carbon dioxide are carbon and oxygen.
In the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle, plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Animals then consume this oxygen and release carbon dioxide as a waste product during respiration. This cycle maintains a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere essential for life on Earth.
when carbon oxidizes (mixes with oxygen) it forms carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a compound of Carbon and Oxygen - CO2
mix soda powder and lithium and it turns carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Carbon Monoxide or Carbon Dioxide.
One atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen equal CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Carbon and oxygen.....
Carbon, oxygen, and another oxygen atom make up carbon dioxide.
