Explanation of Solution
The red spheres in the above space filling figure 1 represents oxygen and the black spheres represent the carbon molecule. Thus, one particle contains two oxygen molecule and one particle contains one oxygen and one carbon molecule and another particle contains two oxygen and one carbon molecule.
