How many electrons shared between carbon and oxygen atom in carbon dioxide?

Two electrons 'at one side' of carbon are shared with 2 electrons of one oxygen atom, forming a double bond (each bond is formed one pair of electrons), at the other side the same is happening to the other two 'carbon' electrons with the second O atom.
Usually each pair of electrons is drawn by a short line (horizontally, sometimes also vertically) to draw the molecular bonding structure:
For carbon dioxide O=C=O
or in dots (one for each electron) O::C::O

Carbon dioxide is a molecule made up of a single carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. The electrons are shared equally between the carbon and the two oxygen atoms. What type of bonding does?
non-polar covalent
Which 2 gases are exchanged at the surface of the air sac?
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged. The plant uses the carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis and expels oxygen.
What is the bond order for carbon dioxide?
double bond between carbon and each oxygen
Is sulfur dioxide part of carbon dioxide?
No. Sulfur dioxide is sulfur and oxygen. Carbon dioxide is carbon and oxygen. They are two different substances.
What happens in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?
it is when we breath out carbon dioxide and plants absorb it and use it to make food then we get oxygen and give out carbon dioxide that is how it goes
If oxygen is nearby what would carbon do in terms of electrons?
Carbon would share electrons with the oxygen to form carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they?
Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms, Four valence electrons are shared.
What is the bond pair in carbon dioxide?
The structure of CO2 is like: O=C=O In this structure, the bonded pair of electrons is shown as the lines between oxygen and carbon atoms. So, two electrons from each oxygen atom and four electrons from the carbon atom takes part in the bonding.
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged between the veins and arteries?
Plants give us oxygen we give them carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a molecule made up of a single carbon atom double bonded to two oxygen atoms. The electrons are shared equally between the carbon and the two oxygen atoms. What type of bonding does?
non-polar covalent
What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?
pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
Is carbon dioxide oxygen?
No. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound of carbon and oxygen.
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere
What is the gas exchange between humans and plants?
Plants take in Carbon Dioxide and expel Oxygen as a by-product of cellular respiration. Animals take in Oxygen and expel Carbon Dioxide as a by-product of cellular respiration.
What is carbon dioxide-oxygen?
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human
