Question
The ration of bond orders in $\mathrm{CO}_3^{2-}$ ion and $\mathrm{SO}_3^{2-}$ ion is _______.
Step 1
- Carbon has 4 valence electrons - Each oxygen contributes 6 valence electrons - The -2 charge adds 2 more electrons - Total valence electrons = 4 + (6 × 3) + 2 = 24 electrons Show more…

The ration of bond orders in $\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$ ion and $\mathrm{SO}_{3}^{2-}$ ion is ___ .
'1he value of bond order of $\mathrm{CO}$ bond $\mathrm{for} \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$ ion is (a) $1.25$ (b) $1.33$ (c) $1.5$ (d) $1.0$
Consider the following bond lengths: $$\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O} \quad 143 \mathrm{pm} \quad \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O} \quad 123 \mathrm{pm} \quad \mathrm{C} \equiv \mathrm{O} \quad 109 \mathrm{pm}$$ In the $\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$ ion, all three $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$ bonds have identical bond lengths of 136 $\mathrm{pm} .$ Why?
