Hey boi...
Actually here Carbon shows coordinate bond with Oxygen in Carbon Monoxide i.e. CO
But in case of Carbon Dioxide... the former forms double bond with two atoms of Oxygen..
O=C=O is carbon dioxide
the image above is carbon monoxide

However in carbon monoxide it will take three atoms at a time but in carbon dioxide 4 atoms
