write the nature of bonding between carbon and oxygen in its molecule
Answers
Carbon dioxide is a product of one of the most important chemical reactions in the world: combustion. Combustion is how a lot of people in the world heat their homes and power their cars. It also unfortunately contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
The carbon dioxide molecule is formed from one carbon atom and two oxygens. As an element, carbon only has 4 outer shell electrons and oxygen 6.
Double covalent bonds form between the atoms, where two electrons from each atom are shared making 4 bonding electrons in total.
The two groups of bonding electrons in carbon dioxide repel each other and this keeps the oxygen atoms as far away from each other as possible.
nature of bonding in carbon and oxygen is polar covalent .
since oxygen have 6 valence electron and in carbon have 4 valence electron carbon need 4 electron to fullfill octet and oxygen 2 so they share electron each other and form polar covalent bond.
