is that even stable? been too long since organic chemistry class

[–] Eiri@lemmy.ca 116 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Dicarbon monoxide. Wikipedia is shockingly poor in information about it, but "stable" is certainly not the first word I'd use to describe it.

From the third sentence in the wiki page:

It is, however, so extremely reactive that it is not encountered in everyday life.

So yeah, not at all stable.

I was about to say, you got way too many things that absolutely will bond with that with no hesitation. Thats a very unstable molecule.

I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.
