Answer:

A carbon–oxygen bond is a polar convalescent bond between carbon and oxygen. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and prefers to either share two electrons in bonding with carbon, leaving the 4 nonbinding electrons in 2 lone pairs :O: or to share two pairs of electrons to form the carbon functional group.
