∙ 12y agoTo find the formula (not "equation," since there is no reaction occurring) for a covalent compound using its name, you would use the prefixes to the elements.
Since there is no prefix to "carbon," then there is only one carbon atom per unit.
Since the prefix to "oxide" is "mono-," there is only one oxygen atom per unit.
This means that the formula for carbon monoxide is CO.

How many atoms of carbon react with a molecule of oxygen to form a molecule of carbon monoxide?
there is one atom of oxygen in Carbon monoxide (CO) i.e. half molecule of oxygen.
What is the chemical formula for calcium carbon monoxide?
Calcium is an elemnt and its symbol is Ca, carbon monoxide is a compound and its formula is CO. There is no compound calcium carbon monoxide.
How does volcanic activity affect carbon dioxide?
it seperates the diatomic molecule and makes it a monotomic molecule, or carbon monoxide
What is the formula for carbon and chlorine?
the chemical formula for carbon is C and for chlorine is Cl.
How many elements are in CO?
Carbon monoxide is a molecule consisting of two elements: carbon and oxygen.
Is CO an emperical formula or a molecular formula?
CO is both an empirical formula and a molecular formula.
How does molecule of carbon monoxide differ from a molecule of carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2.
Carbon monoxide formula?
CO is the formula for carbon monoxide :)
Is monoxide a metal?
NO!!! The word 'monoxide' indicates that a substance, NOT an element, has one(1) oxygen in its formula. e.g. Carbon monoxide (CO) or Nitrogen monoxide (NO)
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).
Is carbon monoxide an atom or molecule?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a molecule. It is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms.
What element is found in Carbon monoxide?
1 x carbon and 1 x oxygen molecule carbon and monoxide monoxide is one oxygen molecule
What is carbon monoxide in a formula?
The chemical formula of carbon monoxide is CO.
What is CO formula?
Carbon monoxide
What is the chemical formula for the Carbon monoxide (covalent)?
The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.
What is CO the equation for?
'CO' is NOT an equation, but a chemical formula. 'CO' is Carbon Monoxide. NB Do not confuse with 'Co' , which is the chemical symbol for cobalt. NNB For all chemical symbols; a single letter symbol is ALWAYS a capital letter, e.g. 'C' Carbon. For a two letter chemical symbol, the first letter is always a capital letter and the second letter is always small/lower case, e.g. 'Fe' Iron.
The correct formula for carbon monoxide is?
The chemical formula of carbon monoxide is CO.
