Draw the two resonance structures that describe the bonding in the acetate ion. What is the hybridization of the carbon atom of the $-\mathrm{CO}_{2}^{-}$ group? Select one of the two resonance structures and identify the orbitals that overlap to form the bonds between carbon and the three elements attached to it.
