So how does CO compare with air? It is 3% lighter. So it distributes very easily through a house.
But when CO is produced, it immediately begins mixing, and therefore diluting, with the air around it. Therefore, it mixes with nitrogen, which doesn't burn, oxygen, which is burned creating the CO, H2O (humidity) and CO2 which are in the air. So the CO produced is not in pure form in the air. It is very diluted. And as CO is produced, it is warmer than the air around it.
