It stands for Carbon Monoxide.
What is 'co'? You must be careful when writing chemical formula. They have different meaning and names. 'co'. Not known. Co is Cobalt. CO is carbon monoxide, Remember for all chemical formulae and symbols. A single letter symbol is ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. e.g. H (hydrogen) A two letter symbol has a CAPITAL letter , to start, followed by a small case letter. e.g. Na (Nadium ; Sodium) No chemical formula has two small case letters., hence 'co' is a nonsense.
C stands for carbon, S stands for sulfur. If you combine these into a compound, you get CS2, carbon disulfide.
kcl does not stand for anything. For a chemical element or compound it is very important to ensure that the upper and lower case letters are used properly. For example, CO is carbon monoxide but Co is cobalt.KCl (upper case K and C, and lower case l) stands for potassium chloride.
A typical periodic table has the element symbol e.g. C for carbon, W for tungsten, Pb for lead etc and often has the atomic number of the element (atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus and therefore the number of electrons in a (neutral) metal atom.
CoS is the chemical formula of a possible cobalt sulfide.
1. Co is the chemical symbol of cobalt.2. CO is the chemical formula of carbon monoxide.

Carbon.
Basically, young 'scientists' like 11 year olds find it difficult to understand the chemical symbols from the periodic table. So the symbols for respiration stand for; Glucose+oxygen -- carbon dioxide + water + energy.
Capitalizing the second letter of chemical symbols would cause confusion. For example, if we capitalized the 'o' in Cobalt (Co) to appear as 'CO', then it would stand for two entirely different elements (carbon and oxygen).
C stands for carbon, S stands for sulfur. If you combine these into a compound, you get CS2, carbon disulfide.

Chemical symbols - Na is Sodium and Cl is Chlorine
Like many of the chemical symbols Cu comes from the Latinized Greek word for the element (Cuprum).
