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.

Pierce conducts an experiment in which waves collide in a way that the energy increases, which means that has occurred

Vikki [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

It means the waves collides and constructive interference occurred.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

If the two waves coming from the opposite direction collide with each other, there are two way of their interference.

Constructive interference: An interference which results in the increase in energy. And it is when crust of a wave comes on the crust of second wave.
Destructive interference: An interference which results in decrease in energy of the resulting wave and colliding waves cancel the result of each other.

Hence in experiment there will be constructive interference.
