A simple example of the combining of carbon and oxygen would be the burning of coal.
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).
Answer this question… Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
Atoms are elements, not compounds. Compounds are composed of two or more different atoms. For example, the element carbon, with the symbol C, is composed of atoms. If you combine carbon and oxygen to make carbon dioxide (CO2) then you have a compound, composed of molecules, each of which have 3 atoms, one carbon and two oxygen.
It is a compound of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. Carbon and oxygen are both elements.
C3H8 (butane) + 5 O2 (oxygen) --> 3 CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 4 H2O (water)
Carbon dioxide is the product of a combustion reaction.
Carbon and oxygen atoms can chemically combine to form carbon dioxide (CO2).
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.
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.
One carbon atom can combine with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide (CO2).
propane
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.
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.

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.
