What is the specific in Lewis structure of CO ?

Answer»

Solution :The Lewis structure of CO MOLECULE is as under.

Here, C = 4 `bar(e)`and O = 6 `bar(e)`= 10 total ELECTRONS
THUS, there is a tripal bond between C and 0 . From which two are covalent bond and one is coordinate covalent bond.
In CO one coordinate bond is due to two electron of oxygen. So from three bonds only two electron of oxygen. So from three bonds only two bonds are covalent as electron share by C and O .
