Joseph Black, a Scottish

chemist and physician, first

identified carbon dioxide in the
1750s.

Carbon dioxide is an
odourless and
colourless gas that is
vital to life on earth.
 Carbon dioxide is
important for plants to
do the photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide
contributes to
climate change
There are three atoms in one molecule
of carbon dioxide , one carbon atom and
two oxygen atoms.
There are many natural sources of carbon dioxide
creation :
When we breathe we breathe in oxygen and expel
carbon dioxide
In the combustion
processes (when
burning something).
Everything that needs
a fossil fuel (like oil)
generates carbon
dioxide.
