OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
