Is carbon monoxide CO and element?
Carbon monoxide is not an element period. It's a compound.
Is carbon monoxide a pure substance of a mixture?
Carbon monoxide is a pure substance, as it is made up of molecules that are all identical (one carbon atom and one oxygen atom). It does not contain different types of molecules mixed together.
Carbon monoxide a pure substance or mixture?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a chemical compound.
Why is carbon monoxide not an element?
Carbon monoxide is not an element because each molecule, the smallest unit of the substance that can exist, is a chemical combination of an atom of carbon and an atom of oxygen. A link to the Wikipedia article on this substance is provided.
Is carbon and carbon monoxide the same?
No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.
Why is carbon monoxide an element?
This is not an element, it is a compound. Carbon monoxide is CO which means 1 of each atom, carbon and oxygen.

Carbon monoxide is a pure substance, as it is made up of molecules that are all identical (one carbon atom and one oxygen atom). It does not contain different types of molecules mixed together.
Why is carbon monoxide not written as CM?
When writing the chemical formula of a substance you write the symbol of each element and next to the symbol you write the number of atoms of that element there are in the molecule. The number is written in subscript. However, do not write a number next to the element if there is only one atom of it in the substance. A carbon monoxide molecule contains one carbon atom (symbol: C) and one atom of oxygen (symbol: O), and so the formula is CO. The mon- in monoxide merely means that there is one oxygen atom in the molecule. It cannot be called carbon oxide because there is also carbon dioxide (CO2) which has one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.
What are numbers of atoms of each element of Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide: CO 1 atom of carbon and 1 atom of oxygen (hence the mono in the name)

Is carbon monoxide a element or a compound?
compound. has carbon and oxygen compound. has carbon and oxygen
Is carbon oxide an atom or a molecule?
First of all you can have either carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, and maybe a couple of others, but not just carbon oxide. Secondly an atom is of only 1 element and this compound contains 2 types of element (carbon and oxygen), which makes it a molecule.
Is carbon monoxide a mixture?
No, carbon monoxide is a compound composed of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. It is not a mixture of different substances.
Is carbon dioxide monoxide an element or a compound?
carbon dioxide and monoxide are compounds. they are not elements.
