This molecule is the strongest of the spectrochemical series of ligands (“LI-gndz”). Formic acid decomposes into this compound and water. This molecule is the heavier of the two components of synthesis gas, which is found on the reactants side of the Fischer-Tropsch process. The Mond process forms a complex of nickel and this molecule. Incomplete (*) combustion creates this molecule, (10[1])whose binding affinity to hemoglobin makes it especially dangerous in garages, (10[1]-5[1])due to car exhaust. For 10 points, name this deadly colorless and odorless gas with formula CO. ■END■ (10[1])
