Answer:

Co stands for Cobalt. If we write CO, then it would mean that it is a compound containing two non-metal ions, i.e. carbon and oxygen, which forms carbon monoxide gas. We can't write o as O because O represent Oxygen and symbols representing an element with two letters have first one as capital and next one should be in small letter.
