Like several other bonds, carbon-oxygen bonds have lengths and strengths that depend on the bond order. Draw Lewis structures for the following species, and arrange them in order of increasing carbon-oxygen bond length and then by increasing carbon-oxygen bond strength:
(b) CO₃²⁻;

Respuesta :

The order of increasing C-OC−O bond length is:

                a < c < b < e < d

                a < c < b < e < d

What is bond length?

The distance between the centers of two atoms that are covalently connected is known as the bond length. The number of bound electrons determines the bond's length (the bond order). The greater the attraction between the two atoms and the shorter the bond length are, the higher the bond order.

A characteristic of a chemical bond between different types of atoms is bond length. Depending on the type of molecule they are found in, bonds between atoms can differ. For instance, methane and methyl chloride have distinct carbon-hydrogen bonds. A bond often has fewer electrons involved and is shorter.
