Question:-
Which best defines carbon dioxide?
A) It is the resulting molecule when two carbon atoms bond to one oxygen atom.
B) It is the resulting molecule when one carbon atom bonds to two oxygen atoms.
C) It is the resulting molecule when one carbon atom bonds to one oxygen molecule.
D) It is the resulting molecule when two carbon atoms bond to two oxygen atoms.
Answer:-
Option B) It is the resulting molecule when one carbon atom bonds to two oxygen atoms.
Step-by-step explanation:-
In carbon dioxide, carbon atoms are double-bonded to two oxygens.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring linear compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a carbon atom.
