Carbon oxide can be:

  1. CO, Carbon monoxide ('mono' = one): C=O with one double covalent bond ('=')
  2. CO2, Carbon dioxide ('di' = 2): O=C=O with two double covalent bonds ('=' and '=')

Write a word equation and a balanced equation for the reduction of zinc oxide?

If the reduction involves carbon getting oxidized, it would be... Zinc oxide + carbon -----------> Zinc + carbon monoxide that's ZnO + C ----------> Zn + CO or if the reduction involves carbon monoxide getting oxidized, it would be... Zinc oxide + carbon monoxide -----------------> Zinc + carbon dioxide that's ZnO + CO ----------> Zn + CO2

Why is carbon monoxide not written as CM?

When writing the chemical formula of a substance you write the symbol of each element and next to the symbol you write the number of atoms of that element there are in the molecule. The number is written in subscript. However, do not write a number next to the element if there is only one atom of it in the substance. A carbon monoxide molecule contains one carbon atom (symbol: C) and one atom of oxygen (symbol: O), and so the formula is CO. The mon- in monoxide merely means that there is one oxygen atom in the molecule. It cannot be called carbon oxide because there is also carbon dioxide (CO2) which has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

What do you write to name of a compound written as Cu0?

This is the formula for Copper (II) Oxide Copper has two possible oxidation numbers (+2 or +1) since there are no written subscripts for in the formula CuO, copper's oxidation number must have been +2 (If it had been +1, the formula would be Cu2O and the name of the compound woould be Copper (I) Oxide)
