Carbon suboxide `(C_(3)O_(2))`

A

Linear structure

B

Bent structure

C

Trigonal planar structure

D

Distorted tetrahedral structure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Carbon suboxide has linear structure with C-C bond length equal to 130Å and C-O bond length equal to 120Å.
`O=C=C=C=O harrO^(-)-C-=C-C-=O^(+)`
