Question

How can 1 atom carbon and 1 atom of oxygen increase their chemical stability?

A.)They can form a triple covalent bond.
B.)These atoms can form an ionic bond.

Answer 1

Answer:

A.)They can form a triple covalent bond.

Explanation:

Carbon and oxygen are nonmetals, so they do not form ionic bonds with each other.

However, they can reach a more stable state by sharing electrons to form a triple covalent bond.
