Suggest a reason as to why $CO$ is poisonous.
(N/A) Carbon monoxide is highly poisonous because of its ability to form a complex with hemoglobin.
The $CO-Hb$ complex is about $300$ times more stable than the $O_{2}-Hb$ complex.
This complex prevents hemoglobin from binding with oxygen.
As a result,the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood decreases,leading to suffocation and death.

Medium
View SolutionAssertion $(A)$: The maximum covalency of $Si$ and $Ge$ is $6$ but that of carbon is $4$.
Reason $(R)$: Due to the presence of $d$-orbitals in $Si$ and $Ge$,both these elements can undergo $sp^3d^2$ hybridisation and covalency of $6$ is possible. Carbon has no $d$-orbitals in it and hence its covalency is $4$.
