What is the valency of C in carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Hi friend,

#Valency of (carbon dioxide) CO2 is 0. As in the carbon dioxide molecule both carbon as well as oxygen has completed their octet by sharing electrons.

#Individually carbon has 4 valency and oxygen has 2.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU:-))

Answer 2

It is+ plus 4.
As it is bounded by 2 oxygen atoms which have -2 charge on each.

As the compound is neutral hence both Carbon and Oxygen charges should add up to zero.
So carbon will have +4 charge.
