Answer:

The chemical name of carbon dioxide is
CO_2.

Step-by-step explanation:


C+2O\rightarrow CO_2

In a model of carbon dioxide made by the student there are one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms which means that total atoms in the molecule of carbon-dioxide is three.

While writing the chemical name of the carbon dioxide we will first write the symbol of the electropositive atom and then electronegative atom:
CO_2
