01:04 An atom of carbon (C) forms covalent bonds with two atoms of axygen (O) to form carbon electrons of these atoms rearranged to form the bonds? dioxide. How are the valence
My answer will be that the valence of the Carbon atom is (+4) and that of each Oxygen atom is (-2). The CO2 molecule is formed by covalent bonds, in other words: C (+4) + O2 (-4) = 0.
