Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

The carbon-containing gas produced by passing air over hot coke is primarily carbon monoxide (CO). CO has a tendency to reduce aqueous $PdC{l}_2$ to a black metallic deposit of Pd. This is because CO is a good reducing agent and is oxidized to $C{O}_2$ in the process.

CO has H.O.M.O as ${\sigma }_{sp}$(Non-Bonding M.O); L.U.M.O as π^*(2p) antibonding M.O and is polar
