carbon dioxide is O=C=O
Though the three-D structure is diffrent for co2 and oxygen, co2 is still larger because of the extra carbon atom.
and i dont believe nitrogen bonds with itself, instead just stays N, though even N=N would be smaller than co2.
Of course there are many different molecules in the air including ones with nitrogen and oxygen, but i think they wouldnt make a large enough difference.
It has been awhile since I took bio so correct me if i am wrong.
By the way please dont correct my grammar or spelling please because:
