How can the dipole moment of carbon monoxide be rationalised by molecular orbital theory?

Answers

Answered by hemantmehra31

Explanation:

Despite the fact that oxygen is much more electronegative than carbon, the bond in CO presents a weak dipole moment. This observation can easily be explained using the concept of "dative bond", that is, one bond is formed with two electrons from oxygen, producing a polarization O→C which equilibrates the expected polarization C⟶O. I would like to know if the molecular orbital model could be used to explain this phenomenon.
