Explain the structure of CO_(3)^(2-) ion in terms of resonance. |
Answer» Solution :The carbonate ion shown by three Lewis structure and two SINGLE bond (C - O ), one double bond (C = O ) between carbon and oxygen in it. I, II and II resonance structure by `CO_(3)^(2-)` and (IV) structure is resonance HYBRID. I, ll, III lewis structure of `CO_(3)^(2-)` are not described correctly. In this C - 0 bond length is 143 pm is not obtained. But all C = 0 bond has equal 132 pm bond length. It can be explain by hybrid resonance structure . IV. In `CO_(3)^(2-)` all C - O bonds are equipment . |
