Answer 1

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed through the sharing of electrons between carbon and oxygen atoms. This type of bond is known as a covalent bond. Since there are two oxygen atoms in CO2, there would be a total of four covalent bonds in carbon dioxide. Therefore, the correct answer is four covalent bonds.
