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. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas that helps to trap heat in our atmosphere. Without it, our planet would be inhospitably cold.
The fact that carbon dioxide is a gas means that it must consist of simple molecules. Carbon can form simple molecules with oxygen because it can form double bonds with the oxygen. None of the other elements in Group 4 form double bonds with oxygen, and so that forces completely different structures on them.here is an enormous difference between the physical properties of carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide (also known as silicon(IV) oxide or silica). Carbon dioxide is a gas whereas silicon dioxide is a hard high-melting solid.
