The answer is 2 pairs. The carbon atom has 4 electrons and oxygen atom has 6 electrons. The purpose of shared electron is to get 8 electrons at the outer layer. So the carbon atom needs to share 4 electrons which is 2 pairs with oxygen to be stable.

It is winter where jenna lives. Its been snowing all day, but now the snow has changed to sleet and then to freezing rain. What
Vladimir79 [104]

Hi!

Answer:

The change in temperature.

Explanation:

Snow forms at 0 °C, when water vapor converts directly into solid ice crystals. Sleet forms when raindrops fall through a layer of air colder than 0 °C. This means that from the time it was snowing to the time it started sleeting the air has gotten warmer but one layer of air stayed cold, hence the formation of sleet. Freezing rain is rain that freezes when it hits a cold surface. This means that from the time it was sleeting to the time there was freezing rain the air had completely warmed and is now above 0 °C but the ground and all other surfaces are still cold.

I hope this helps, as this happens all the time where I live! :)
