Yes Carbon and Oxygen form carbon dioxide, whenone molecule of oxygen combines with a single atom of carbon.

Actually, oxygen is a diatomic element, an element usually found bonded with another one (O2), making it be 2 atoms of oxygen combining with 1 atom of carbon. And also the prefix di- represents 2 atoms of oxygen. This has to do with non metals bonding with non-metals (covalent bonds).
