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

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 `130 Å` and C- O bond length equal to `120 Å`
`O= C= C= C = O harr O^(-) - C -= C- C -= O^(+)`
