Write the formula of corbon dioxide? With proper way.
Dear student,
Carbon dioxide is made up of 1 carbon and 2 oxygen atoms and it is a binary covalent compound. The chemical symbol of carbon is C. There is no prefix before carbon in the chemical name; therefore, there is only 1 C atom in the chemical formula. Dioxide has the prefix di which means there are 2 atoms present. Oxide is derived from Oxygen, whose symbol is O. Thus, there are 2 O atoms in the chemical formula. Putting it all together we have CO2
Regards
