No it's not the same. Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2. Carbon monoxide comes out of car exhausts and is poisonous if breathed in. CO2 is much less dangerous, though it is also a health hazard if the concentration is high enough. There are two oxygens atoms attached to the carbon atom in carbon dioxide (thus the name). There is only one oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom.
