D
Carbon dioxide (CO_2)
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the elements involved in the molecule. The problem asks for a molecule formed when carbon and oxygen bond together.
Review the given options and their chemical formulas: Methane (CH_4) contains carbon and hydrogen, Ammonia (NH_3) contains nitrogen and hydrogen, Water (H_2O) contains hydrogen and oxygen, and Carbon dioxide (CO_2) contains carbon and oxygen.
Recognize that the molecule formed by carbon and oxygen bonding together is carbon dioxide, which has the formula \(\mathrm{CO_2}\).
Understand that the other molecules do not contain both carbon and oxygen together, so they cannot be the correct answer.
Conclude that the correct name of the molecule formed by carbon and oxygen bonding is Carbon dioxide.
