When the volatile complex formed in the Mond's process decomposes, the bond length of C-O.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The Mond's process involves the formation of Ni(CO)₄. When this complex decomposes, CO is released. In Ni(CO)₄, CO acts as a ligand, donating electrons to Ni, which weakens the C-O bond and increases its length. Upon decomposition, CO is freed, and its bond length decreases to that of free CO, which has a triple bond character.

 

The final answer is B
