Carbon suboxide, `C_3O_2` has

A

bent structure

B

trigonal planar sturucture

C

linear structrue

D

distorted tetrahedral structure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Carbon suboxide has linear structure with C-C bond length equal to 130pm and C-O bond length equal to 120pm. `O=C=C=C=O harr O-C -= C-C -= O^(+)`
