It isn't. Carbon is 6th on the Periodic Table and Oxygen is 8. Oxygen is the heavier element.
mass of oxygen / mass of carbon
15.99g / 12.01g = 1.33 heavier than carbon

How many times an atom of carbon is heavier than atom of carbon?
You need to restate your question as you have asked the difference between something and itself.
Is carbon monoxcide heavier than oxygen?
Oxygen as a gas is heavier than carbonmonoxide This is because carbon monoxide consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. This says that if the mass of oxygen is x and the mass of carbon is x-z (its not as heavy as oxygen) then a carbon monoxide molecule is 2x-z. Also we must keep in mind that z is smaller than x. On the other hand an oxygen molecule is 2x. It is obvious that 2x is larger than 2x-z unless z is 0 or smaller. However z cant be 0 or smaller because then carbon as an atom would be heavier than oxygen which it isn't. However Carbon Monoxide is heavier than oxygen as an atom. Again we can say CO is 2x-z and since z is less than x, 2x-z>x. Also x is an oxygen atoms mass. So CO>O but CO<O2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many times heavier is a magnesium atom than an oxygen atom?
O = 16.00 a.m.u (atomic mass units) Mg = 24.31 a.m.u So, relatively speaking it is 1.519 times heavier
How many times heavier is a sulfur atom than a helium atom?
8 Times Heavier
Is carbon dioxide molecule made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom?
No. One carbon dioxide molecule is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What has a heavier atomic weight gold or oxygen?
The atomic mass of Carbon is 12.0107 The atomic mass of Gold is 196.96657 So an atom of Gold is about 16 times heavier than an atom of Carbon.
How many times heavier is a copper atom compared to an oxygen atom?
It's 4 times heavier.
What is heavier one atom carbon or one atom gold?
The Atomic Mass of Carbon is 12.0107 The atomic mass of Gold is 196.96657 So an atom of Gold is about 16 times heavier than an atom of Carbon.
How many times an atom of sulfur is heavier than an atom of carbon?
Sulphur has a molar mass of 32.065. Carbon has a molar mass of 12.01. 32.065 / 12.01 = 2.67. So an sulphur atom is 2.67 heavier than an carbon atom.

How many times an atom of calcium is heavier than an atom of oxygen?
Average atomic mass of Ca = 40.1 Average atomic mass of O = 16.0 Mr(Ca)/Mr(O) = 40.1/16.0 = 2.51 Thus the calcium atom is about 2.5 times heavier than the oxygen atom.

How many times heavier is a sulfur atom than a helium atom?
8 Times Heavier
Is carbon dioxide made of carbon an oxygen?
Correct. Carbon Dioxide is made of one carbon atom and two oxygen atom (CO2).
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.
