Answer:

Carbon is an element on the Periodic Table and mono means 1 and oxide represents oxygen . If you put it all together, it means 1 carbon fused with one oxygen . It is a potentially deadly gas if you inhale too much of it. Answer: If you have CO in your home or business (as measured on a CO meter or alarm, it means that there is a source of incomplete combustion discharging to the area. This should be investigated and corrected

Mono in carbon monoxide means that there is only one oxygen atom in carbon monoxide whereas in carbon dioxide, the di is like the bi in bicycle so means two atoms of oxygen.
