Answer:

There are 8 bonding electrons and 0 nonbonding electron on carbon atom

Explanation:

CO_{2} consists of two C=O bonds.

Total number of valence electrons in CO_{2} are 16.

Two C=O bonds uses 8 electrons from 16 available electrons. Rest of the electrons are used to fulfill octet of two oxygen atoms.

Hence 8 electrons are present as nonbonding electrons on two oxygen atoms.

So, Carbon atom contains 8 bonding electrons and 0 nonbonding electrons.

Lewis structure of CO_{2} has been given below.

How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element
yaroslaw [1]

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

How many individual orbitals does carbon use for all of its electrons? Remember, there are two electrons in each filled orbital
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

What is an animals life in a desert?
rodikova [14]
An animals life in a desert is to survive, depending on the type of desert though, but I assume the most common desert, the hot/dry desert. Most animals are nocturnal, because it becomes cooler at night, and live underground during the day.
