Suggest a reason as to why $CO$ is poisonous.
(N/A) Carbon monoxide is highly poisonous because of its ability to form a complex with hemoglobin.
The $CO-Hb$ complex is about $300$ times more stable than the $O_{2}-Hb$ complex.
This complex prevents hemoglobin from binding with oxygen.
As a result,the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood decreases,leading to suffocation and death.
