Answer:

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

Explanation:

From the available options:

A.  CO2 molecules are highly symmetrical.  

B.  CO2 has a low molar mass.  

C.  CO2 exists in relatively high concentrations.  

D.  CO2 is formed in the combustion of fossil fuels.  

<em>The focus on CO2 as far as global warming is concerned is not because It has a high global warming potential but because of its relatively high concentration in the atmosphere as a result of both natural and anthropological activities.</em>

The correct option is C.

Which form of bonding has unequal sharing of electrons between two elements?
Vlad1618 [11]

Hello!

Your answer would be polar covalent.

Covalent bonds are where two atoms come together, and share electrons between each other, and are therefore, bonded.

In some cases of molecules that are bonded with a covalent bond, one of the atoms is more, you could call it selfish, and takes more of the electrons. A prime example of this is H20, or water. One of the atoms takes the electrons for longer, and therefore has a more negative charge because electrons are counted as negative charges.

This bond where an atom "hogs" electrons, is called a polar covalent bond, respective to the changing charges for the atoms.

So your answer is d.

Hope this helped!
