Assertion (A):

\mathrm{CO}_2

is resonance stabilized molecule.

Reason (R): Bond length of

\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}

\mathrm{CO}_2

is intermediate of single and double bond length.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

(A) is true but (R) is false

Option C ((A) is true but (R) is false) is correct because CO2 is resonance stabilized, but the C-O bond length is intermediate between a double and triple bond, not a single and double bond.
