Question
What is the total number of valence electrons available for bonding in the CO molecule?
Explanation
Carbon has 4 valence electrons ( 2s² 2p² ), and oxygen has 6 ( 2s² 2pⴠ). Total = 4 + 6 = 10. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
