There is a double bond between the carbon and the oxgen, thus leaving a carbon lacking two bonds (because carbon always needs four bonds). It is poisonous because when it enters your body it reacts and can cause you to suffocate.

Do you mean with haemoglobin? If you breathe in carbon monoxide and oxygen, the carbon monoxide is more likely to bond with haemoglobin than the oxygen. Carboxyhaemoglobin can't bond with oxygen so can't carry it.

carbon starts with the foreplay, monoxide is just being himself.
