Question
Which bond requires more energy to break: the carbonoxygen bond in formaldehyde, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO},$ or the carbonoxygen bond in carbon monoxide, $\mathrm{CO}$ ?
Step 1
In formaldehyde ($\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}$), the carbon and oxygen atoms are connected by a double bond. In carbon monoxide ($\mathrm{CO}$), the carbon and oxygen atoms are connected by a triple bond. Show more…
