Carbon suboxide C3O2 has
(A) Linear structure
(B) Bent structure
(C) Trigonal planar structure
(D) Distorted tetrahedral structure.
Correct option (A) Linear structure
Explanation:
Carbon Suboxide has linear structure with C - C bond length equal to 130 A° & C - O bond length equal to 120 A° O = C = C = C = O ↔ O– – C ≡ C – C ≡ O+
