The ozone molecule consists of 3 oxygen atoms, and all oxygen atoms have exactly the same attraction for electrons (technically called electronegativity) so naturally, they share electrons equally. The carbon dioxide molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Carbon does not attract electrons as strongly as oxygen does (it has a lower electronegativity) so therefore the electrons are not shared equally.

How is carbon dioxide formed?
====================================== My explaination will be Carbon,the non-metal element that contains of 6electrons,2.4 .....the positive charge 4 valenced electrons will share its electron with 2 oxygen atoms that consists of 4 valenced electrons too,in order to achieve stable octet electron arrangement,thus CO2 is formed
What happens to the carbon when plants are eaten by animals?
Cows release more carbon dioxide when they burp or release flatulence than a car does for a whole month....or something like that.
Which gas do animals remove from the air?
The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.
Which organ do we excrete most of our carbon dioxide from?
Carbon dioxide is excreted from the lungs.
What determines whether carbon dioxide is absorbed or released by blood?
The rate at which carbon dioxide enters the cell is determined by the concentration of carbon dioxide on each side of the membrane. Carbon dioxide crosses the plasma membrane by simple diffusion.
Why are electrons shared unequally in carbon dioxide?
Oxygen is more electronegative; meaning that it has a 'liking' for electrons since it would like to fill up it's valency. Therefore it seeks to pull the electron between itself and carbon more strongly.
Why are electrons unequally positioned in carbon dioxide?
Usually, electrons are more attracted to atoms of elements that are located farther to the right and closer to the top of the periodic table; they are closer to the oxygen atoms than they are to the carbon atom. ~Ayanna91~
Does Carbon take electrons from oxygen in carbon dioxide?
In a carbon dioxide molecule, carbon does not take electrons from oxygen. Instead, carbon shares electrons with oxygen through covalent bonds, forming a stable molecule.
What is the total number of electrons shown in this Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
What is the electrical conductvity of carbon dioxide?
Electricity is conducted by free electrons. Carbon dioxide is a gas compound. It does not have free electrons. Sit does not conduct electricity.
What is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis structure of carbon dioxide?
16 is the total number of electrons shown in the Lewis Structure of Carbon Dioxide.
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.
Does carbon and iodine form a polar covalent bond?
Basically, a polar bond is one in which the electrons are unequally shared between two atoms. In the case of Carbon and Iodine, Carbon has an electronegativity of roughly 2.5 and Iodine has an electronegativity of about 2.5. Therefore, the two pull about equally as hard on the shared electrons and produce a non-polar molecule.
How many electrons carbon dioxide have?
there are 22
What happens to carbon dioxide and water in the chloroplasts?
Carbon dioxide is reduced using energy of sunlight to glucose.Water is broken to get electrons.
How many electrons are in Carbon Dioxide?
Total electrons in CO2 are 6+16 = 22
Are bonds in carbon dioxide ionic?
No, bonds in carbon dioxide are covalent. Carbon dioxide is composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a central carbon atom. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, whereas covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
