Consider a molecule of carbon monoxide. What is the most appropriate statement to make? a) There is an equal chance of bonding electrons being close to either atom b) A bonding electron is more likely to exist near C because carbon needs more electrons to get to a noble gas electron configuration c) A bonding electron is more likely to exist close to O because the oxygen nucleus has a stronger attraction for electrons than does the carbon nucleus d) Because we never know where the electron is, we cannot say where a bonding electron is more likely to be
