Question

In addition to CO and CO2, there are other carbon oxides; one of them is tricarbon dioxide, C3O2, known as carbon suboxide (a foul-smelling gas). Determine the following for CaO2: a) The number of valence electrons b) The sites of unsaturation c) The formal charge for Oxygen d) Give the hybridization and bond angles for this molecule e) Is the molecule polar or nonpolar?
