The answer is: four.

For example compound carbon dioxide (CO₂):

Electron configuration of carbon: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².  

Electron configuration of oxygen: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Carbon atom is sp2 hybridized, it has three sp2 orbitals and one p orbital, they form four bonds.

Oxygen has two p orbitals, they form two bonds (one sigma and one pi bond).

p orbitals from carbon and oxygen overlap and form pi bond.

Adding O2 to the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O &lt;---&gt; C6H12O6 + 6O2, WHICH WAY WILL THE REACTION SHIFT?
Alex73 [517]

Increase in Oxygen shift the equilibrium towards reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇄ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This is the reaction occurs in the photosynthesis of plants by means of sunlight. In this case, if the concentration of Oxygen increases or adding more oxygen to the product side will shift the equilibrium towards the reactant side according to the Le Chatlier's principle, which adjusts the equilibrium by itself for any changes that is increase or decrease in pressure, temperature or concentration of reactants or products.
