100 POINTS! AND GIVE EXPLANATION! a student made this model of carbon dioxide moleclue. it has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms what is the correct way to write carbon dioxide the chemical name for
A: C2O
B: C²O
C: CO2
D: CO²

CO₂

Explanation:

In chemistry we use subscripts after the element represented by that amount.

C: CO2

Explanation:

Carbon has four valence electrons. Oxygen needs two valence electrons to become stable. A carbon dioxide molecule is a combination of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, CO2. Because carbon dioxide includes two different elements, it is a compound as well as a molecule.

Hope this helped!!!

the answer is c. it will give up it's valence electron to the other atom.
