Carbon dioxide molecule C016 / 8493
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. Created through computer artwork, it vividly illustrates the composition and arrangement of atoms within this essential compound. Carbon dioxide, a colorless gas naturally present in our atmosphere, plays a crucial role in both animal and plant respiration. However, its significance extends beyond that as it is also recognized as a greenhouse gas. The image emphasizes the impact of human activity on carbon dioxide emissions and subsequent global warming. By increasing its release into the environment, we contribute to the intensification of this phenomenon. The spheres representing atoms are meticulously color-coded: black for carbon and red for oxygen. Set against a pristine white background, this visually striking illustration captures attention with its precise depiction of molecular bonds and structure. It serves as an educational tool to deepen our understanding of chemistry while shedding light on the complex nature of respiration processes. Russell Kightley's masterful artwork invites us to contemplate not only the beauty found within scientific imagery but also encourages reflection on our responsibility towards environmental preservation. This thought-provoking piece reminds us that even seemingly invisible molecules can have profound consequences when their delicate balance is disrupted by human actions.
