Answer» Correct Answer - C `CO` is an important ligand. It can donate an electron pair to many transition metals, forming carbonyl compounds. The number of `CO` molecules bonded to the metal is generally in accordance with the effective atomic number rule. Carbonyl formed with chromium is actually `Cr(CO)_(6)`. |
