What is the chemical bond of carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide exhibits covalent bonding.
CO is what type of chemical bond?
Carbon monoxide is held together by a covalent bond.
What type of bond is between C and O?
A molecule of carbon monoxide has polar covalent bonds.
Is carbon monoxide flamable?
No, however, heated carbon monoxide will readily bond with oxygen to remove it from ores but it not "flammable".
What type of bond is present in carbon monoxide?
One carbon atom and one oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond that consists of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
Does CO have a polar covalent bond?
Yes. CO (carbon monoxide) has a polar covalent bond.
What type of bonding is carbon monoxide?
Polar Covalent
The bond enthalpy values indicate that the bond in carbon monoxide is stronger than that in nitrogen molecule yet carbon monoxide is more reactive than nitrogen?
N2 exists with a triple bond between them. Ballpark it by mulitplying the single bond energy by 3. You see that it is much stronger than CO THIS ANSWER IS WRONG! carbon monoxide has a triple bond also. BUT the n triple bond is not polar. the co triple bond features an electronegative oxygen atom and the carbon has a negative charge. hence much more reactive.
Which of these is an odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?
Carbon monoxide or CO
Is carbon monoxide made up of a coordinate covalent bond?
No. Carbon monoxide is made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom per molecule, the atoms being joined by a non-coordinate covalent bond. However, carbon monoxide can form coordinate covalent bonds with atoms of several transition metal elements.
Carbon monoxide bonds how?
Triple bond between the carbon and oxygen.
Is the bond energy in carbon monoxide low?
The bond strength for carbon monoxide (triple bond) is about 1070 kJ/m (see Wickipedia and http://www.wissensdrang.com/auf1cb2.htm). This is a very high bond strength--even greater than that for the triple bond in molecular nitrogen.However, carbon monoxide is more reactive than nitrogen (see http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Strasse/6671/n2/n2.html). That is a different issue.
