CO is the chemical formula of carbon monoxide (one atom of oxygen in the molecule).
CO2 is the chemical formula of carbon dioxide (two atoms of oxygen in the molecule).
They are two different oxides with specific chemical and physical properties.

What is the different between the chemical name and the chemical formula for a compound?
the difference is that the formula does not have the same categories as the chemical compound does
Which could represent the empirical and the formula of a given compound?
The empirical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound; the structural formula is representative for the spatial structure of the compound.
What does a chemical formula present?
The chemical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound.
What does an empirical formula show?
the empirical formula of a compound tells you the proportions of the elements in the compound. with that information you can make some inferences about the identity of the compound. for example a compound with an empirical formula CH4 tells us that for every carbon atom there are four hydrogen atoms. this means that the compound is methane because no other hydrocarbon can have these roportions (try drawing the lewis structure for C2H8, which doesnt exist. you cant!)
What does a chemical compound formula tell you?
It tells what elements are present in a molecule and how many atoms of each element are present.
What does a formula tells about a compound?
The chemical composition of the compound

What information is needed to calculate the percent composition of a compound?
The formula of the compound and the Atomic Mass of its elements.
What is the formula of the compound between calcium and sulfur that has the percent composition 55.6 percent calcium and 44.4 percent sulfur?
CaS
How would you determine the difference between an ionic and covalent compound from its chemical formula?
it depends if the formula. it is ionic if the bonds are formed between nonmetal and metals.
What is a composition of a compound shown by?
The chemical formula of the compound. This shows the composition directly in atomic ratios, which can be converted to mass ratios by using the atomic weights of each element in the compound.
What information in a chemical formula mean?
The chemical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a chemical compound.
What is the formula for difference between simple interest and compound interest?
P(r/100)^2
Does a compound have a chemical composition?
Yes
