Answer:
CO is a resonance hybrid of the
following two structures:
Thus, CO contains \[p\pi -p\pi
\] multiple bonds. This is due to the reason that carbon has a strong tendency
to form \[p\pi -p\pi \] multiple bonds due to its small size and high electro negativity.
Silicon, on the other hand, because of its bigger size and lower electro negativity
has no tendency to form \[p\pi -p\pi \] multiple bonds and hence Si does not
form SiO molecule analogous to CO molecule.
