Question

the valency of c in c02​

Answer 1

Answer:

CO2 is carbon dioxide which has carbon and oxygen in 1:2 ratio. In the electron dot structure of the elements carbon shares two pairs of its electrons with oxygen. ... Carbon requires only 4 electrons to become stable, and oxygen needs 2 electrons. So, the valency of carbon in CO2 is

Answer 2

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons in the outer most shell and in CO2 its valency is 4 because it shares 2 electrons with each Oxygen .

So total electrons shared are 4.
