Question

Compare the carbon-oxygen bond lengths in the formate ion $\left(\mathrm{HCO}_{2}^{-}\right),$ in methanol $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right),$ and in the carbonate ion $\left(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\right) .$ In which species is the carbon-oxygen bond predicted to be longest? In which is it predicted to be shortest? Explain briefly.

Name: Compare the carbon-oxygen bond lengths in the formate ion (HCO2^-), in methanol (CH3OH), and in the carbonate ion (CO3^2-) . In which species is the carbon-oxygen bond predicted to be longest? In which is it predicted to be shortest? Explain briefly.
