Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is formed when one carbon atom bonds with two oxygen atoms. The type of bond that occurs between the carbon and oxygen atoms is a covalent bond, specifically double covalent bonds.
So, the correct answer to your question is:
four covalent bonds (since each oxygen forms a double bond with carbon).
However, knowing that CO₂ forms two double covalent bonds (O=C=O), the statement could be misleading if interpreted literally. If you meant to specify only the carbon-to-oxygen interactions, it would be two double covalent bonds counted as four individual covalent interactions (considering each of the two bonds for each oxygen).
If this is referencing bond formations without specifics, the best interpretation within the context provided remains that CO₂ has two double covalent bonds. If you meant individual bonding interactions rather than the count of types, two double covalent bonds are the more precise explanation.
