Question

Does CO2 has delocalized pi bonds?


Open in App
Solution

The π bond localization of CO2 is explained below:

  1. A delocalized π bond is a bond in which between two nuclei electrons are free to move.
  2. However in CO2 molecule the electrons of π bond are fixed in constrained position in the absence of any attacking reagent.
  3. Hence, there are no delocalized π bonds present in carbon dioxide(CO2).
  4. Therefore, the above points clearly explains the π bond localization of CO2.
