Sun Yu Hsiang (25)

The harmful compound that I chose is Cobalt Oxide.  It is made up of 1 cobalt atom (Co) and 1 oxygen atom (O).  Its atomic symbol is CoO.  These 2 elements bond using ionic bonding.  Cobalt is a harmless metal, while oxygen is a harmless gas.  However, Cobalt Oxide is dangerous to humans and harmful to the environment.
