Assuming that the question is wrongly capitalized and should have read, "Why does CO burn and CO2 doesn't?", a simple answer is that in CO, only two of a carbon atoms four valence electrons are shared, while in CO2, all four of carbon's valence electrons are shared. A deeper answer would involve quantum calculations and thermodynamic free energy considerations.

What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
What molecules is the heaviest CO2 H2O co or h2?
CO2
How do you get CO from CO2?
CO dissolves in Ammoniacal Cuprouys chloride solution.Hence when a mixture is passed through the above CO is absorbed,&CO2 passes through.Read more: How_do_you_obtain_CO_from_mixture_of_CO_and_CO2
Do the chemical formulas CO and CO2 represent the same compound?
No. CO stands for carbon monoxide and CO2 stands for carbon dioxide. CO has one carbon and one oxygen. CO2 has one carbon and two oxygens.
What is the chemical equation for an imperfect perfect burn?
An imperfect burn of a hydrocarbon like methane can produce carbon monoxide (CO) instead of carbon dioxide (CO2), due to insufficient oxygen. The chemical equation for an imperfect burn of methane is CH4 + O2 → CO + H2O.
Do cars produce CO2?
Yes. Cars burn up petrol, diesel, LPG and so forth. When burning hydrocarbons, they will react with oxygen to form water and CO2. Unfortunately this is not the case. Not all fuel is converted to CO2 and H2O. Some is converted to CO (carbon monoxide, very poisonouss) and some doesnt burn at all or is converted to a shorter chained hydrocarbon. Its the car exhaust catalyst's job to convert these (and other) substances to CO2.
What gas is formed when you burn carbon monoxide?
CO combines with O2 to create CO2. 2CO +O2 --> 2CO2
How does Co2 help other gases to burn?
CO2 does not help other gasses burn
What is the balanced equation for CO2 C CO?
The balanced equation for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) is: 2CO2 → 2CO + O2
What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
How long does it take for a pencil to burn?
The wood in a pencil will burn in three or four minutes. The graphite inside is pure carbon which will not burn, but at around 800 degrees Celsius will react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).
What molecules is the heaviest CO2 H2O co or h2?
CO2
Is dry ice co or CO2?
CO2 (carbon dioxide)

What is the chemistry of producing sponge iron in coal based DRI plant?
3Fe2O3 + C =2Fe3O4 + CO Fe304 + C = 3Fe0 + CO FeO + C = Fe + CO 3Fe2O3 + CO = 2Fe3O4 + CO2 Fe3O4 + CO =3 FeO + CO2 FeO + CO = Fe + CO2 and C + CO2 = 2CO In this ways iron oxide get reduced to iron which is called sponge iron.
