CO2 is a molecule. A molecule is a group of two or more elements binded together. An element is the thing that makes up the molecule. For example, the C in CO2 stands for Carbon, and element. And O stands for Oxygen, another element. The two means that there are two oxygen in this molecule.

What is the prefix for Co2?
(Co)2 , di-Cobalt, is a NON-existing molecule, because cobalt is a metallic element, not a gaseous element. Maybe CO2 , carbon dioxide is meant, but it has no prefix.(Capitalization is very important in chemical writing)
What element is common in all organic molecule?
They contain carbon, and usually hydrogen. For example, CO2 is not organic, but CH4 is organic.
Which symbols represents a molecule of carbon dioxide?
co2
How many atoms of each element are present in the CO2?
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.
Is carbon dioxide a molecule or element?
CO2 is both a compound and a molecule. It is a compound because it is made up of carbon and oxygen which have been chemically combined. It is a molecule because carbon dioxide exist as CO2 molecules, with simple molecular structure.
When atoms are combined the result is?
a molecule of an element (O2) or compound (CO2)
What a element of CO2?
CO2 is Carbon dioxide, which is a compound that contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen in each molecule.
Is dry ice considered an element?
No, dry ice is the solid form of CO2. CO2 is a molecule made of 2 elements: Carbon and Oxygen.
Explain why a molecule of hydrogen is not a compound?
A molecule of hydrogen has a formula of H2. It consists of only one kind of element. Compounds consist of two or more kinds of elements. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is a compound because it contains both the elements carbon and oxygen.
Is CO2 a compound molecule?
CO2 is both a compound and a molecule.
What is the prefix for Co2?
(Co)2 , di-Cobalt, is a NON-existing molecule, because cobalt is a metallic element, not a gaseous element. Maybe CO2 , carbon dioxide is meant, but it has no prefix.(Capitalization is very important in chemical writing)
What element is common in all organic molecule?
They contain carbon, and usually hydrogen. For example, CO2 is not organic, but CH4 is organic.
What elemet is CO2?
Co2 would be a diatomic molecule of cobalt (Co), but since cobalt is a metal it does not form molecules and is simply Co. CO2 is not an element but a compound of the two elements carbon and oxygen. It is carbon dioxide.
What element does dioxide come from?
Dioxide means an oxygen molecule in a compound. Example CO2 is carbon dioxide, the O2 part is the dioxide.
Is c02 an atom or molecule?
CO2 is a molecule
Which symbols represents a molecule of carbon dioxide?
co2
How many atoms of each kind of element are there in in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
One Carbon (C) atom and two Oxygen atoms (O). CO2.
