Carbon dioxide molecule C016 / 8494
Carbon dioxide molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a colourless gas that occurs naturally in the atmosphere and has an important role in animal and plant respiration. It is a greenhouse gas, where its increased emission due to human activity contributes to global warming. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (black) and oxygen (red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a carbon dioxide molecule, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. Carbon dioxide, a colorless gas present in our atmosphere, plays a vital role in both animal and plant respiration. However, its significance extends beyond this as it is also recognized as a greenhouse gas with implications for global warming. The image portrays atoms represented by spheres, each meticulously color-coded to distinguish between carbon (black) and oxygen (red). This visual representation allows us to appreciate the molecular complexity of carbon dioxide. The bonds between these atoms are clearly visible, emphasizing their interconnectedness within the molecule. Against a striking blue background, this artwork serves as an educational tool that highlights the compound's importance in various scientific fields such as chemistry and biology. It symbolizes how human activities contribute to increased emissions of carbon dioxide into our environment. Through this thought-provoking piece by Russell Kightley from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the delicate balance between nature and human impact on our planet. It encourages us to reflect upon our responsibility towards mitigating climate change while appreciating the beauty found within scientific exploration.
