How many bonding pair are present in carbon(iv)oxide? 
Answer Details
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a linear molecular geometry, with two oxygen atoms bonded to the central carbon atom. Each bond between carbon and oxygen is a double bond, consisting of two pairs of electrons shared between the atoms. Therefore, there are two bonding pairs in each of the carbon-oxygen double bonds, giving a total of four bonding pairs in CO2. The answer is 4.
