==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Carbon Monoxide]] is a [[toxic]] [[gas]]eous (at [[STP|room temperature]]) [[compound]] with [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] CO.
===About Carbon Monoxide===
: [[Carbon Monoxide]] is a [[toxic]] [[gas]] which can lead to death.
: [[Carbon Monoxide]] is [[product|produced]] when there is not enough [[Oxygen]] for a [[fuel]] to [[Combustion|burn]] completely.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Carbon Monoxide]] is a [[toxic]] [[gas]]eous ([[STP]]) [[compound]] with [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] CO.
===About Carbon Monoxide===
: [[Carbon Monoxide]] is a [[toxic]] because it binds to the [[haemoglobin]] in the [[blood]] preventing [[Oxygen]] from being carried to the [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] for [[respiration]].
: [[Carbon Monoxide]] is [[product|produced]] due to the [[Incomplete Combustion|incomplete combustion]] of [[hydrocarbon]]s and other [[Organic Compound|organic compound]]s:
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2CH4 + 3O2 -> 2CO + 4H2O</chem>
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2C2H6 + 5O2 -> 4CO + 6H2O</chem>
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Soot]] + [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2C2H6 + 4O2 -> 2C + 2CO + 6H2O</chem>
: [[Ethene]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
