What else can I help you with?
Is the CO bond in carbon monoxide polar or nonpolar?
The CO bond in carbon monoxide is polar.
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.
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.
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.
What is the latent valency of carbon in carbon monoxide?
The latent valency of carbon in carbon monoxide is 2. Carbon in carbon monoxide forms a double bond with oxygen, utilizing 2 of its valence electrons to fulfill the octet rule.
How many covalent bonds are found in carbon monoxide?
There is one covalent bond in carbon monoxide. The bond is between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, formed by the sharing of electrons.
Is carbon oxide a ionic or covalent bond?
carbon monoxide is a covalent bond... covalent bonds involve non-metal with non-metal bonding... carbon and oxygen r non-metals...hence carbon oxide is a covalent bond...
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.
What is the Lewis diagram for carbon monoxide?
The Lewis diagram for carbon monoxide shows a carbon atom with two lone pairs of electrons and a double bond with an oxygen atom.
What is the bond order of CO?
The bond order of CO is 3.
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.
