My Test

Carbon dioxide, CO2, is a covalent molecule composed of one carbon atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms. Graphite is used as a lubricant because its layers can slide easily over one another. Diamond and graphite have giant covalent structures. Carbon monoxide is the toxic oxide of carbon. Substance R is identified as a macromolecule. Diamond has uses in cutting and jewelry. Magnesium oxide, MgO, is an ionic compound composed of Mg2+ cations and O2- anions.
