Hi everybody, I want to ask about the kind of hybrid in CO and the bond

in CO. Is it right the CO is so active that it immediately react with

the O2 to produce CO2?

Thanks for any help.

I finally got time to take part here Smile

I dont think CO is very reactive ... infact people say it is neutral with water and atmosphere. So with oxygen it has less affinity.

Check this link for hybrids in CO bonds

http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/group4/oxides.html

But it has affinity to reactive metals like Iron so it cuases hyper oxidation of blood haemoglobin and causes sudden death

Hope it helps.
