In a carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecule, there are four bond pairs of electrons. Each oxygen atom forms a double bond with the carbon atom, meaning two pairs of electrons are shared between each carbon-oxygen bond.

The correct answer is: A. 4

Explanation:

Carbon(IV) oxide, also known as carbon dioxide (CO₂), has the following structure:

O=C=O

Each double bond between carbon and oxygen consists of 2 bonding pairs of electrons. Since there are 2 double bonds, the total number of bonding pairs is:

2 double bonds × 2 bonding pairs per double bond = 4 bonding pairs

So, CO₂ has 4 bonding pairs of electrons.

Answer: A. 4

CO2 has 4 bonded pairs of electrons but only 2 bonded atoms so the answer 4 is correct
