Solution

Carbon dioxide molecule has a carbon atom joined by four covalent bonds to two oxygen atoms, which have two covalent bonds each.
Carbondioxide is a product of combustion.
As an element, $C$ only has $4$ outer shell electrons and oxygen $6$ . Double covalent bonds form between the atoms, where two electrons from each other are shared making $4$ bonding electron in total.
