The formula for carbon dioxide is: CO C2O CO2 C2O2

OpenStudy (pnathaniel56):

i would go with c20

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Hint: 'Di ' mean 2.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- and this number will come after the atom its referring to

OpenStudy (welshfella):

so its not C2O

OpenStudy (kevin):

dioxide --> 'di' for 'oxygen'

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

hrmmm...

OpenStudy (kevin):

XD

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

Is it C?

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):

I mean is it option C?

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

carbon dioxide has 1 carbon and 2 oxygen, oxide is referring to oxygen and di is referring to 2, therefore it shows C without a number, which means 1 carbon atom, and followed with O, which means oxygen, which has a 2 following it

OpenStudy (kevin):

dioxide --> 'di' for 'oxygen' di = 2 That's mean carbon dioxide has 2 oxygens

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

the answer is C u are correct

OpenStudy (kevin):

2 Oxygens --> O2

NvidiaIntely (nvidiaintely):
