Answer :

ap I Î 7. I 1 1 2p 1 1 1 1 1 23 14- -LD spzi - 1 25 TL AS A 615 Molecular orbital diagram of co HOMO Gmb due to this it act amolecular orbital diagram of CO is shown in the image attached :

HOMO ( highest occupied molecular orbital) is Sigma non bonding . CO will form coordinate bond by giving these electrons so it act as sigma donar .

LUMO ( lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) is pi* . It can accept electrons in these pi orbital and act as pi acceptor also.
