How many atoms of oxygen and carbon does a molecule or carbon dioxide have?
Carbon Dioxide, or CO2, has one Carbon molecule and two Oxygen molecules.
Is carbon dioxide made of molecules?
Carbon dioxide is a molecule that is made of atoms. A carbon atom is double bonded to two oxygen atoms to make a CO2 molecule.
What is the formula for carbon monoxide molecule?
CO
How many atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecule has 12 oxygen atoms?
The chemical formula for maltose is C12H22O11, so there are a total of 12 carbon atoms in a molecule of maltose. A molecule of maltose has 11 oxygen atoms, not 12.
Is carbon dioxide the same as carbon monoxide?
No it's not the same. Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2. Carbon monoxide comes out of car exhausts and is poisonous if breathed in. CO2 is much less dangerous, though it is also a health hazard if the concentration is high enough. There are two oxygens atoms attached to the carbon atom in carbon dioxide (thus the name). There is only one oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom.
Is carbon monoxide an atom or molecule?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a molecule. It is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms.
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.
How many atoms are in a molecule of carbon monoxide?
Two in carbon MONoxide (1 Carbon + 1 Oxygen -->MONO-oxide ) Three in carbon DIoxide (1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen -->DIoxide )
Who many atoms in one molecule of CO?
The molecule of carbon monoxide has two atoms.
Can a molecule of oxygen have a atom of carbon in it?
Not in it, but bonded to it. In this case, you have carbon monoxide. Add another oxygen molecule and you have carbon dioxide. No, a molecule of Oygen would have the formula O2, and it contains two atoms of Oygen. If Carbon was also present then it would not be a molecule of Oxygen. It would be either Carbon monoxide (CO) or Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What type of oxide is Carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
How many oxygen atoms are contained in the formula 2CO?
2CO is not a formula. CO is the formula of carbon monoxide. It is important to remember that a formula always starts with a capital letter. CO means one molecule of carbon monoxide is made of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. 2CO is two separate molecules of carbon monoxide, a total of two carbons and two oxygens.
Why is the name not mono-carbon dioxide?
Because: 1. Carbon monoxide (CO) has one atom of oxygen in the molecule. 2. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has two atoms of oxygen in the molecule. CO and CO2 are different chemical compounds.
How many atoms does an element have if it does not have a subscript?
No subscript suggests one atom, for example carbon monoxide - CO - each molecule contains one atom of carbon and one atom of oxygen. As opposed to carbon dioxide - CO2 - in which each molecule has one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
How many sulfur atoms are in a molecule of carbon monoxide?
Zero.
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.
How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecules has 12 oxygen atoms?
12 carbon atoms exist in a molecule of maltose if the molecules have 12 oxygen atoms.
