CO is practically non-polar since

A

The `sigma` - electron drift from C to O is almost nullified by the `pi`- electron drift from O to C

B

The `sigma`- electron drift from O to C is almost nullified by the `pi`- electron drift from C to O

C

The bond moment is low

D

There is a triple bond between C and O

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because oxygen is more electronegative than carbon atom so the `sigma` - electrons are towards oxygen atom. The co-ordinated covalent `pi`- bond has `pi`- electrons which are donated by oxygen to carbon atom. So there is a drift of `pi - electrons from O to C.
