i need help please!!!!
why is co an element but co is a compound
Co but CO
do you know what CO is?
no
carbon monoixed
monoxide
two elements carbon and oxygen makes CO
Carbon and Oxygen undergo a chemical reaction to form Carbon Monoxide completely changing their structure and co is cobalt.. and element
ok but what is the diffrence between Co and CO
COMPOUND/MOLECULE anything with more than one elements is not considered an element but a compound or molecule refers to two or more atoms which have chemically combined to form a single species
CO - a substance that can not be broken down by chemical means
Cobalt is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27. Like nickel, cobalt in the Earth's crust is found only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations
Co - a molecule refers to two or more atoms which have chemically combined to form a single species
OK THANKS YOU BOTH SO MUCH I FIGURED IT OUT
