Which one of the following statements about carbon monoxide is correct ?A. It has two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen atomB. Carbon atom in it is sp hybridizedC. In formaing metal carbonyls, oxygen is attached to the metal atomD. It has large value of diple moment |
Answer» Correct Answer - B CO has the strucuture : `C underset(larr)=O`: which involves sp hybridisation of C-atom . Because of donation of electron by O-atom to C-atom ,it has low polar character and hence low dipole moment ` (0.39 C m/0.117 D)`. |
