Question

Carbon monoxide, CO, is isoelectronic to N₂. (a) Draw a
Lewis structure for CO that satisfies the octet rule. (b) Assume
that the diagram in Figure 9.46 can be used to describe
the MOs of CO. What is the predicted bond order for
CO? Is this answer in accord with the Lewis structure you
drew in part (a)? (c) Experimentally, it is found that the
highest energy electrons in CO reside in a σ-type MO. Is
that observation consistent with Figure 9.46? If not, what
modification needs to be made to the diagram? How does
this modification relate to Figure 9.43? (d) Would you expect
the π_2p MOs of CO to have equal atomic orbital contributions
from the C and O atoms? If not, which atom would
have the greater contribution?
