there are 3 in tottal
If you mean CO2 there are 3 atoms of two elements: 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. If you really did mean Co2, that would be a diatomic molecule of cobalt containing 2 atoms of 1 element. However, no such molecule exists.
three: one carbon and two oxygen
No. CO2 contains the elements carbon and oxygen, whereas CH4 contains carbon and hydrogen, and elements are immutible unless they are radioactive and undergo radioactive decay. If you are thinking of something like a chemical reaction in which CO2 is a reactant and CH4 is a product, that might be possible. But if that is the case, the atoms of the reactants are rearranged to form the products, but one element would not actually change into another element. For example, in the following chemical reaction, CO2 reacts with H2O to form the products CH4 and O2. Note that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on each side of the equation, which means that the atoms of each element were rearranged, but the elements did not change identity. CO2 + 2H2O --> CH4 + 2O2
No subscript suggests one atom, for example carbon monoxide - CO - each molecule contains one atom of carbon and one atom of oxygen. As opposed to carbon dioxide - CO2 - in which each molecule has one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.

CO2 has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
One Carbon (C) atom and two Oxygen atoms (O). CO2.
CO2 is Carbon dioxide, which is a compound that contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen in each molecule.
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
