NO!!! The word 'monoxide' indicates that a substance, NOT an element, has one(1) oxygen in its formula.

e.g.

Carbon monoxide (CO)

or

Nitrogen monoxide (NO)

No, monoxide means that there is one oxygen atom in a molecule such as in carbon monoxide or nitrogen monoxide.

Oxygen is a nonmetal.

carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide are both inorganic. So are carbonates, bicarbonates and metal carbides.


Why does co forms numerable metal complexes?

Carbon monoxide forms complexes called carbonyls. The carbon monoxide bonds via the carbon atom. A full molecular orbital treatment shows that there is a pair of electrons on the carbon that can be donated to the metal forming a sigma bond; There are filled d orbitals on the metal that "back donate" into empty anti-bonding molecular orbitals on the CO. This is a push me pull you synergistic effect.


Is carbon monoxide made up of a coordinate covalent bond?

No. Carbon monoxide is made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom per molecule, the atoms being joined by a non-coordinate covalent bond. However, carbon monoxide can form coordinate covalent bonds with atoms of several transition metal elements.
