Here's a question for the Chemists/ scientists of the forum!

Is Carbon Monoxide a "light" or "heavy" gas??

Meaning, does it tend to rise in a room or hover at floor level?

Reason for the question is to where best position a Carbon Monoxide detector in a garage. I have the option of using one of the outlets on the ceiling near a garage door opener ....... or along the baseboard.

Never thought of this one before
