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.
Number of carbon atoms in methane?
Methane (CH4) is composed of one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen, a total of five.
How many of each kind of element are there in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
How many atoms of each kind of element are there in a molecule of carbon dioxide?
1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atoms. The formula is CO2, which means that there are one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen in one molecule. The subscripts tell you the numbers of each element. No number is understood to be one.
Is 1 atom of nitrogen a molecule or element?
"element" (2 make up a molecule)
How many molecules are in carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a type of molecule. It contains 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom
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.
Is carbon dioxide an element or a molecule?
Its a molecule because it is made up of 1 part Carbon(element) and 2 parts Oxygen(element). These elements combine to form a molecule
Is carbon monoxide an atom?
Yes. One carbon atom is bonded to one oxygen atom by two covalent bonds and one coordinate covalent/dative bond, to form a complete molecule.
What does it mean if an atom has no subscript in a chemical formula?
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
What molecule has 2 oygen atoms and 1 carbon atom?
Carbon dioxide.
What is the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to carbon atoms in the carbon monoxide molecule?
1:1, carbon monoxide is one carbon atom and one oxygen atom.
