Identify the incorrect statement(s) with respect to \( \mathbf{C O} \) : This question has multiple correct options
- A. it combines with water to give carbonic acid.
- B. it combines with haemoglobin of the blood.
- C. it is a powerful oxidising agent.
- D. \( \mathrm{CO} \) is weak field ligand.
Step-by-step solution
Only statement B is correct. CO does not combine with water to form carbonic acid (A is false); it is a reducing agent, not a powerful oxidizing agent (C is false); and it is a strong field ligand, not weak (D is false).
