Question

How many sigma and pi bonds are in carbon monoxide?

Answer 1

The pi bond is formed by the side-on overlap of two 2p orbitals. A triple bond contains one sigma bond and 2 pi bonds. In acetylene, the C≡C triple bond consists of a sigma bond and two pi bonds......

Answer 2

THE CARBON MONOXIDE CONTAINS 1 SIGMA AND 2 PI BONDS.

Explanation:

• The sigma bonds are formed when head on overlapping takes place and when lateral overlapping takes place, pi bonds are formed.
• In carbon monoxide the electron sharing takes place by two pi bonds and 1 sigma bond, to form a triple bonds.
• The molecular orbital diagram for CO is different as compared to $O_{2}$.
• The bonds are formed by the 4 valence electrons in carbon and 6 in oxygen.
• THEREFORE, A TOTAL OF 1 SIGMA BOND AND 2 PI BONDS ARE PRESENT IN CO.
