Question
Which of the following species is carbene?(a) : $\mathrm{CH}_3^{-}$(b) $: \mathrm{CCl}_2$(c) $\mathrm{CH}_2=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$(d) Structure can't copy
Step 1
A carbene is a neutral molecule containing a carbon atom with only six valence electrons (instead of the usual eight). The carbon has two bonds and a lone pair of electrons, giving it the formula :CRâ‚‚, where R can be various substituents. Show more…
