Answer:
Explanation:Carbon dioxide is made of one carbon atom that is sandwiched in between two oxygen atoms. The carbon atom is in between each of the two oxygen atoms and there is a double bond between each carbon-oxygen bond (O=C=O). Thus, carbon dioxide is symmetrical.

Answer:
Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. Therefore, the oxygens pull the electrons towards themselves with the same force on either side of the carbon atom. ... These are very weak intermolecular forces that are overcome at room temperature. Thus, carbon dioxide molecules are able to move freely as a gas.
