Question

a molecule of carbon monoxide (co) is made up of one carbon (c) atom and one oxygen (o) atom. which of the following models represents carbon monoxide (co)?

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a compound made of two different atoms: one carbon (C) and one oxygen (O). Model A shows two identical atoms (likely representing a diatomic element like \(O_2\) or \(N_2\)). Model C also shows two identical atoms (maybe \(H_2\)). Model D shows three atoms. Model B shows two different atoms, which matches the composition of CO (one C and one O).

Answer:

B.
