Question

Describe how carbon and oxygen form carbon dioxide

Answer 1

It allows plants, bacteria, and algae to take carbon dioxideand, with the help of a little sunlight, turn it into the oxygen we all breathe. But now scientists have taken photosynthesis out of the equation and have managed to make oxygen (O2) by zapping carbon dioxide (CO2) with a laser

Answer 2

Hey mate here is your answer》》

Carbon atoms in carbon dioxide have eight shared electrons with oxygen. The oxygen molecules each have two shared pairs (in double bonds) and two lone pairs of nonbonding electrons. This satisfies the octet rule for stability and keeps the formal charge of carbon and the two oxygens at zero.
