Which one of the following statements about carbon monoxide is correct ?

A

It has two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen atom

B

Carbon atom in it is sp hybridized

C

In formaing metal carbonyls, oxygen is attached
to the metal atom

D

It has large value of diple moment

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
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)`.
