Question

The total number of electrons in one molecule of carbon dioxide is:

Answer 1

1. Carbon dioxide is a chemical molecule made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
2. ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is the carbon dioxide's chemical formula.
3. The sum of the electrons in carbon and oxygen is used to compute the total number of electrons in carbon dioxide.
4. One carbon atom has 6 electrons, the number of electrons in two oxygen atoms is, $2\times 8=16$
   As a result, there are $6+16=22$ total electrons in Carbon dioxide.
