Q. 1. (a) In CO, carbon and oxygen both having lone pair of electrons, but carbon lone pair take part in bonding rather than oxygen. Explain why? (b) The electronegativity difference between C and O is very large but the electric diploe moment is only around 0.24 Debye. Explain why? (c) The bond order between C and O in CO* is 3.5 but bond order between N and O in NO* is three only. Explain why?
