3. Lets look at the way that chemists name this compound. The carbon part means there is a single carbon in it. Next is the di- part. This prefix di- comes from greek and means 2. Chemists tend to use greek prefixes and latin ones too depending on the situation. The latin prefx for 2 is bi- (as in bicycle etc...). Now that we know what the prefix means we know it means theres 2 oxygens in this compound. So altogether that's a carbon and 2 oxygens = 3
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
Two in carbon MONoxide (1 Carbon + 1 Oxygen -->MONO-oxide ) Three in carbon DIoxide (1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen -->DIoxide )
A carbon dioxide molecule has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. The carbon means 1 carbon. The Di-oxide means 2 oxygen. Di (as in dos which is 2 in spanish) means 2. Oxide means oxygen.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral oxide of carbon because it has equal numbers of carbon and oxygen atoms, resulting in a balanced charge.
Carbon dioxide is a covalent oxide, specifically a non-metallic oxide. It is formed by the combination of carbon and oxygen atoms, and primarily exists as a gas at room temperature.
The ratio (as atoms) carbon/oxigen in graphitic oxides is between 2,1 and 2,9.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
Iron oxide is not considered an organic molecule because it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. Organic molecules are generally compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. Iron oxide is an inorganic compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms.
The chemical formula of aluminium oxide is Al2O3: five atoms.
Two in carbon MONoxide (1 Carbon + 1 Oxygen -->MONO-oxide ) Three in carbon DIoxide (1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen -->DIoxide )
There are 3 atoms in lithium oxide. It consists of one lithium atom and two oxygen atoms.
Carbon "di"oxide means there are two oxygen atoms attached to the carbon.
The nitrous oxide(N2O) is an inorganic compound.
Its better name is Carbon dioxide = CO2
