no.. CO2 is a covalent compound where carbon forms two pairs of double bonds with each of the oxygen atom..n it has a linear structure. Hybridisation of carbon in CO2 is SP2.

Is CO2 an example of an ionic compound?

No, CO2 is not an ionic compound. It is a covalent compound composed of carbon and oxygen atoms. Ionic compounds are formed when atoms of different elements with opposite charges transfer electrons to each other.


Is CO2 ionic or molecular?

CO2 is a molecular compound, not an ionic compound. It consists of covalent bonds between its atoms (carbon and oxygen), rather than ionic bonds between metal and non-metal atoms.


Is CO2 a ionic compound?

No, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a covalent compound. It is composed of carbon and oxygen atoms covalently bonded together. Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal, while covalent compounds involve the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals.


Is CO2 ionic or convalent?

CO2 is a covalent molecule. It forms when two nonmetal atoms, in this case carbon and oxygen, share electrons between them to form a stable molecular structure. It does not contain ions like in an ionic compound.


The compound CO2 is an example of a or an 1 atom 2 element 3 ionic compound 4 covalent compound?

1. Atom- No, CO2 is made of two different atoms. 2. Element- No, an element is a pure substance, such as an atom or a group of the same atoms. 3. Ionic compound- No, if it was an ionic compound then the atoms would be charged, such as Hydrochloric acid (H+Cl-) 4. Covalent compound- Yes, in a covalent compound the atoms share electrons, a CO2 molecule looks roughly like this O-C-O (O= Oxygen C= Carbon)

Is CH4 ionic or molecular?

CH$ is a COVALENTLY bonded molecule. NB You appear to misunderstand between IONIC and MOLECULAR. IONIC is is a form of bonding were ions attract like the N & S poles of a magnet, to form a molecular bond. COVALENT is a form of bonding were atoms 'SHARE' electrons , like humans linking arms, to form the molecular bond.
