Carbon dioxide is a colorless and non-flammable gas at normal temperature and pressure. Although much less abundant than nitrogen and oxygen in Earth's atmosphere, carbon dioxide is an important constituent of our planet's air.A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas that helps to trap heat in our atmosphere. Without it, our planet would be inhospitably cold. molecule of carbon dioxide (CO 2) is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

Water and Carbon Dioxide. In a molecule of water, oxygen is by far the more selfish element. It shares four electrons with two hydrogen atoms. If we assign all four electrons to oxygen, we find that oxygen has an oxidation number of -2, while the hydrogen atoms have an oxidation number of +1. In the compound carbon dioxide, one atom of carbon is sharing eight electrons with two atoms of oxygen.
