A) \[C\equiv O\]triple bond
B) carbon and oxygen
C) carbon
D) oxygen
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The general formula of metal carbonyl is \[M{{(CO)}_{x}}\] where M = metal and \[x=4\] Hence, formula of metal carbonyl\[=M{{(CO)}_{4}}\] \[CO-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} | \\ CO \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix} CO \\ | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{M}}}\,-CO\] Therefore, metal atom will be bonded by carbon atom of carbonyl directly.You need to login to perform this action.
