Carbon monoxide?

It is a single carbon with a single oxygen.

It is poisonous because it bonds with heamaglobin (sorry for the misspelling) instead of oxygen.

It is formed by incomplete combustion (When there is not enough oxygen in the air).

Hope this helped if it did Then can you please recomend me it would be much appreciated
