Solution
Carbon monoxide vs. Carbon dioxide
Main differences based upon their structure :-
1). Carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) is composed of 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms on the other hand
carbon monoxide CO) is composed by 1 carbon and 1 oxygen atom .
2). In CO 2 , surrounded oxygen atoms are covalently bonded with central carbon atom by double
bond while in CO carbon and oxygen atoms are covalently bonded by triple bond in which
carbon atom carry one unit negative charge and oxygen atom carry one unit positive charge and
hence overall structure of CO is neutral .
Differences based upon their Chemical properties:-
1). Carbon dioxide is produced by complete combustion of carbon in the presence of oxygen on
the other hand carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion of carbon .
for e.g:- C (s) + O 2 (g) --------------------> CO 2 (g)Â Â Â Â ( Complete combustion )
C (s) + 1/2 O 2 (g) -------------------> CO (g) ( Incomplete combustion ) .
2) . CO 2 serve as ligand in metal carbon dioxide complexes
for e.g :- Li - R + CO 2 --------------> R CO 2 Li
while CO form complexes with metals having lower oxidation number , in which CO act as
ligand .
for e.g :- Fe   +   5 CO ------------> Fe(CO) 5

2. 3) . CO 2 used in Photosynthesis process i.e CO 2 reacts with water in atmosphere as :
n CO 2 + nH 2 O --------------> ( CH 2 O) n + nO 2
on the other hand CO produce CO 2 and H 2 gases with water .
for e.g :-Â Â CO(g) +Â Â H 2 O -----------------> CO 2 +Â Â Â Â H 2
CO is very toxic and reactive gas . it is present rare in the air while CO 2 is non-poisoness gas . it
is common gas in the air. CO 2 is required for plant life and it is most important greenhouse gas .
