What is carbon plus oxygen atoms?

Carbon and oxygen atoms can chemically combine to form carbon dioxide (CO2).


What happens to energy when carbon and oxygen atoms combine?

When carbon and oxygen atoms combine to form carbon dioxide, energy is released. This energy comes from the bonds being formed between the atoms during the chemical reaction.


Can carbon and oxygen combine?

Yes. Carbon dioxide is a compound formed when a carbon atom covalently bonds to two oxygen atoms with the formula CO2. Carbon monoxide is a compound formed when one carbon atom covalently bonds with one oxygen atom with the formula CO.

How is carbon and oxygen combined By heating them together or by putting them in a bottle how is Carbon Dioxide formed?

Obviously carbon dioxide and oxygen cannot be combined by just sticking them in a bottle together, that would not chemically combing the atoms and create a compound. You would need to chemicaly combine them, the easiest way to heat them together.


What do you get if you combine one carbon atom with three oxygen atoms?

A molecule containing one Carbon atom and three Oxygen atoms, CO3, is called Carbon Trioxide. It is unstable and normally decays into carbon dioxide and oxygen.

Are carbon atoms changed during burning?

Burning is a combustion reaction, which is a type of oxidation-reduction reaction. During combustion, carbon is oxidized. This means that it oxidation state becomes more positive, since it loses electrons during the reaction (it is bonded to the more electronegative oxygen after the reaction, whereas it was bonded to less electronegative hydrogen before the reaction).


What new substance if one molecule of carbon combine with two molecule of oxygen?

It is sort of tricky question. One molecule of carbon can combine with only one molecule of oxygen. It can not combine with two molecules of oxygen. Incidentally one molecule of carbon is composed of one atom of carbon. One molecule of oxygen is composed of two atoms of oxygen.
