3.       Explain how carbon monoxide is formed

Carbon Monoxide is formed when there is incomplete combustion, and there is not enough oxygen to make carbon dioxide.

4.       Explain why carbon monoxide is poisonous

It is poisonous because, when it is breathed in, the carbon monoxide sticks to the hemoglobin easier than oxygen does. THe hemoglobin then has trouble carrying oxygen around the body.
