carbon monoxide
gas containing one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom
Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide, with the chemical formula CO, is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless
gas. It is the product of the incomplete
combustion of
carbon-containing compounds, notably in
internal-combustion engines. It has significant fuel value, burning in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing
carbon dioxide. Despite its serious
toxicity, CO plays a highly useful role in modern technology, being a precursor to a myriad of products. It consists of one carbon atom covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. It is a gas at room temperature.
