Detailed explanation-1: -A molecule of carbon dioxide contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Hence it can be expressed as CO2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abbreviation for carbon dioxide: gas naturally produced by animals during respiration and through decay of biomass, and used by plants during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -This formula contains 2 carbon atoms and 4 oxygen atoms having a common factor of 2. So, dividing this formula by the common factor of 2, we get the simplest formula ‘CO (2)‘. Thus, the formula of carbon dioxide is ‘CO (2)‘.
Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon Dioxide(CO2) One of the vital components of the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide serves as a greenhouse gas with a chemical composition of one carbon and two oxygen atoms.
