PLEASE HELP <3

Carbon dioxide, the compound containing carbon and oxygen seen here, contain what type of chemical bonds?

A) polar covalent
B) single covalent
C) double covalent
D) triple covalent

Respuesta :

In order for carbon to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 4 total covalent bonds.

In prefer for oxygen to be stable and have 8 electrons, it must make 2 covalent bonds.

So, we can deduce that CO2 looks like this:

O=C=O

This molecule has two double bonds.

Pssst...Can I get a brainliest?
