There are__electrons in the covalent bond between C and O in CO.

I believe the answer is 6 electrons

Explanation: at the start, carbon has 4 and oxygen has 6. After the bond, C has 5 and O has 7. But using one covalent bond does not support the octet rule so you have to change things up. To satisfy the octet, you have to use a triple bond, and a triple bond means Carbon and Oxygen share 6 electrons.

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.

idk what the question is about
