Carbon has 4 available bonds. Oxygen has 2. All bonds must be used up or the compound will not be stable. Each oxygen is joined to the carbon by a double covalent bond. CO2 has 2 double-covalent bonds (4 covalent bonds in total)

What is stronger a triple covalent bond or a single covalent bond?

A triple covalent bond is stronger than a single covalent bond because it involves the sharing of three pairs of electrons between atoms, compared to just one pair in a single covalent bond. This results in a higher bond energy and greater stability in the triple bond.


Which bond is stronger single or double covalent bond?

A double covalent bond is stronger than a single covalent bond because it involves the sharing of two pairs of electrons between atoms, compared to just one pair in a single bond. This increased electron sharing in a double bond leads to greater bond stability and strength.
