The three most stable oxides of carbon are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon suboxide

Question:

The three most stable oxides of carbon are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon suboxide (C3O2). The space- filling models for these three com-pounds are

For each oxide, draw the Lewis structure, predict the molecular structure, and describe the bonding (in terms of the hybrid orbitals for the carbon atoms).
