Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A molecule of carbon dioxide has 2 atoms (2 atoms of oxygen and 1 atom of carbon) in it.
Detailed explanation-2: -One mole of carbon dioxide is equivalent to one mole of carbon, or 6.02 x 1023 atoms of carbon.
Detailed explanation-3: -The answer to this is three atoms. To be more specific, a single molecule of carbon dioxide has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
Detailed explanation-4: -To start, how many atoms are there in the CO2 molecule? In the CO2 molecule, there are three atoms, one carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms.
Detailed explanation-5: -As a result, there are 6 + 16 = 22 total electrons in Carbon dioxide.
