Question

What is wrong about $C{O}_3^{2-}ion?$

• A. It has planar structure
• B. It has one coordinate bond.
• C. It has three resonating structures.
• D. Hydrolysis of $C{O}_3^{2-}$ ion gives basic solution.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Resonating structures of $C{O}_3^{2-}ionare:$
$\therefore$ There is no coordinate bond in $C{O}_3^{2-}$
