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.
Two oxygen atoms and 1 carbon atom will each. share two electrons to form four covalent bonds. and make a carbon dioxide molecule (CO2). This is a picture of a carbon dioxide molecule. By sharing the four electrons where the shells touch each. oxygen and carbon atom can count 8 electrons in its outer shell. These full outer shells with their shared electrons are now stable, and the CO 2 molecule will not react further with other oxygen or carbon atoms. Each electron pair is one bond. Carbon and oxygen have two bonds each between their atoms. This is called a double bond. The structural formula of a carbon dioxide molecule is written
