Why carbon monoxide is or is not an atom?

Carbon monoxide is a molecule consisting of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom.


Is carbon monoxide an atom?

Yes. One carbon atom is bonded to one oxygen atom by two covalent bonds and one coordinate covalent/dative bond, to form a complete molecule.

there is one atom of oxygen in Carbon monoxide (CO) i.e. half molecule of oxygen.


What is the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in the carbon monoxide molecule?

1:1, carbon monoxide is one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.


What are the elements present in the carbon monoxide?

That can easily be determined by looking at the name carbon monoxide you need to beak it down. This molecule has 2 part, 1 of which has a descriptor Carbon mon oxide carbon is an element, so no further info needed from that part mon is a prefix that means one, so one oxide oxide is oxygen. so carbon monoxide is 1 carbon atom attached to 1 oxygen atom.


Can carbon and oxygen combine?

Yes. Carbon dioxide is a compound formed when a carbon atom covalently bonds to two oxygen atoms with the formula CO2. Carbon monoxide is a compound formed when one carbon atom covalently bonds with one oxygen atom with the formula CO.
