Carbon can be represented in many different ways depending on what you want to show. The simplest is to use its symbol, C. If you want to use it as part of a structure, you'd show it with four lines coming out of it to represent bonds. If you want to show its electronic structure you would surround it with two concentric circles with x's or spots on them to represent electrons, two on the inner one and four on the outer one.

In carbon dioxide what element is combined with carbon?
Oxygen.The C in CO2 stands for Carbon, the O for oxygen and the 2 to say that there are two oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule. If there is no 2 or 3 or whatever next to the representation of the atom, this means that there is only one of that atom in the molecule
