The components of carbon dioxide are carbon and oxygen.

In one molecule of carbon dioxide there is ONE atom of carbon and TWO atoms of oxygen. This leads to the formula for carbon dioxide as 'CO2'.

These three atoms are combines in the following manner, ' O=C=O'. The 'equals' sign indicates a 'double' bond between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom(s). The oxygen atoms are NOT directly combined to each other.
