Please reply fast .

Answer 1

Answer: The formula for carbon monoxide is CO.

Explanation:

Carbon is the 6th element of periodic table having electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^2$

The oxidation state shown by carbon element is +2 and +4.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^4$

The oxidation state shown by oxygen element is -2.

When carbon and oxygen combines to form carbon monoxide, oxygen shows an oxidation state of -2 and carbon shown an oxidation state of +2, foe this particular compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for carbon monoxide is CO.
