Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It consists of one carbon atom covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial combustion of carbon-containing compounds, notably in internal-combustion engines. Despite its serious toxicity, CO plays a highly useful role in modern technology, being a precursor to a myriad of products.
