Question

which particle diagram most likely shows carbon dioxide gas?
○ a.
○ b.
○ c.
○ d.

Explanation:

Carbon - dioxide has the chemical formula CO₂, which means each molecule consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. In a particle diagram of carbon - dioxide gas, we should see individual CO₂ molecules. Option A has a mix of different molecules, Option B has individual atoms instead of molecules, Option C has molecules where each molecule has one carbon and two oxygen atoms as in CO₂, and Option D has a different type of molecule.

Answer:

C.
