Question

is carbon monoxide stable​

Answer 1

No!

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is at all not stable because

• We know carbon has valency 4.
• And Oxygen has valency 2.
• So, in carbon monoxide Oxygen is able to fill only to electron gap and now 2 more electrons are needed to complete tetravalency.
• So, Carbon monoxide is reactive.
