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.

That's why it contains the greater mass, because only the electrons orbit the nucleus. So, you would expect the arrow to point somewhere in the center.
