ALL MOLECULAR GRAPHICS: CARBON MONOXIDE: simplified graphic models of carbon monoxide molecules, CO
(above) carbon monoxide image # 1: picture showing a carbon monoxide molecule on a cloudy background. This image is 500 x 500 pixels; the original image is 2048 x 2048 pixels.Carbon monoxide gas consists of one oxygen atom covalently joined to a carbon atom. The oxygen atom (red) is pictured as a sphere drawn at the scale of its covalent radius just touching the carbon atom (grey) drawn at the scale of its covalent radius. The purple halo represents the "surface" of each molecule and is created from the van der Waals radii of the constituent atoms.
(above) carbon monoxide image # 2: picture showing a carbon monoxide molecule on a black background (oxygen van der Waals surface emphasised in red). This image is 500 x 500 pixels; the original image is 2048 x 2048 pixels.Carbon monoxide gas consists of one oxygen atom covalently joined to a carbon atom.

Carbon Monoxide: carbon monoxide gas consists of one oxygen atom covalently joined to a carbon atom. Carbon monoxide is extremely poisonous since it replaces oxygen in haemoglobin (haemoglobin is the red pigment in blood that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide). All of these images are pictures of highly simplified models. |
