Equals Carbon Dioxide or Carbon Monoxide, the difference being the number of Oxygen atoms in the compound. The difference is determined by whether the reaction between Carbon and Oxygen uses complete or incomplete combustion. Complete combustion forms Carbon Dioxide, and incomplete combustion forms Carbon Monoxide, because there is not as much Oxygen in the flame which combusts the Carbon.
