Oxidation numbers
... In the compound CO, the sum of the oxidation numbers must be 0 (rule 3). We know that oxygen has an oxidation number of −2 (this is not a peroxide) and since there is only one oxygen atom in the molecule, then the carbon atom must have an oxidation number of +2. So the oxidation number of carbon is ...
