Question

Describe how the properties of the compound carbon monoxide (CO) differ from the properties of the elements in the compound.

Answer 1

Answer:

A compound is a pure substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio. ... If a different ratio of carbon atoms and oxygen atoms are seen in a formula, you have a different compound. For example, carbon monoxide—a gas produced in car engines—has the formula CO.

Answer 2

Answer:

Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous, odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas. It is very flammable in air over a wide range of concentrations  and burns in air with a bright blue flame . It becomes a liquid at 81.62 K.

the elements in the compound carbon and oxygen.

oxygen is also colorless, odorless and tasteless gas but it's not poisonous.

as we use it for breathing purpose whereas too much oxygen can be toxic.

carbon is solid and very brittle. diamond and graphite are two most common forms of carbon.

When elements are chemically combined, they form compounds having properties that are different from those of the uncombined elements
