Best Answer

CO is Carbon Monoxide. That is it contains one carbon and one oxygen.

As a chemical symbol/formula do NOT confuse with 'Co' , Note the small case 'o'.

This is the element 'Cobalt.

In chemical formula . A one letter element is always a CAPITAL letter. A two letter element has first letter as a capital letter and the second letter is always lower/small case.

E.g. H = Hydrogen

He = Helium .

'Co' is NOT a chemical compound, but the symbol for the elemental metal ; Cobalt.

However, CO is a compound. It is the substance Carbon Monoxide.

NB In chemical symbols, a one letter element is always a CAPITAL letter.

A two letter element has first letter as a capital letter and the second letter is small/lower case.

e.g.

H = hydrogen

He = Helium
