Solution

The correct option is A 22
Number of electrons in a molecule is equal to the sum of electrons in individual atoms in it.
And electrons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.
In $C O_{2}$ , there are one carbon and two oxygen atoms and the number of electrons in them are:
In C - 6 electrons
In two O's - $2 \times 8$ electrons
Total in $C O_{2} - 6 + (2 \times 8) = 22$ electrons.
