Why isn't CO2 bent and polar?
Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than carbon, which would make you think CO2 molecules should be polar. Even though the individual C-O bonds are polar (meaning the electrons are more attracted...

Why does CO2 have a linear shape instead of a bent shape?
The Carbon has double bonds to each of the oxygen atoms, so it does not have any unshared pairs or electrons. Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory dictates that the electron pairs will be...

What is CO2?
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. It is used by plants during photosynthesis to make their food.It is also generated as a...

What is the role of CO2 in CO2 incubator?
in co2 incubators, the co2 reacts with h2o in the medium to generate hco3- which acts as a buffering system for the cells in the medium. 5% co2 is the optimum concentration for the maintenance of the...

1.5X1025 molecules of CO2 to liters of CO2?
pv=nrt. The volume, in litres is calculable by this formula: v=nrt/p, where v is in litres, n is your (1.5x10^25 molecules)/(Avrogadro's 6.022×1023 mol–1), r is a constant with a value of 8.31, t...
