29) For the carbonate ion, CO,2, which of the following is a correct description of its bonding? A) In the structure, the carbon is sp hybridized, and each of the two sp orbitals overlaps with an oxygen orbital to create a o bond. The unhybridized p orbitals on the carbon atom overlaps with a p orbital on the oxygen atom to create a n bond. B) In the structure, the carbon is sp3 hybridized, and each of the four sp3 orbitals overlaps with an oxygen orbital to create a o bond. C) In the structure, the carbon is sp2 hybridized, and each of the three sp2 orbitals overlaps with an oxygen orbital to create a o bond. The unhybridized p orbital on the carbon atom overlaps with a p orbital on the oxygen atom to create a n bond.

29) For the carbonate ion, CO,2- , which of the following is a correct description of its bonding?
A) In the structure, the carbon is sp hybridized, and each of the two sp orbitals overlaps with an oxygen
orbital to create a o bond. The unhybridized p orbitals on the carbon atom overlaps with a p orbital on the
oxygen atom to create a n bond.
B) In the structure, the carbon is sp3 hybridized, and each of the four sp3 orbitals overlaps with an oxygen
orbital to create a o bond.
C) In the structure, the carbon is sp2 hybridized, and each of the three sp2 orbitals overlaps with an oxygen
orbital to create a o bond. The unhybridized p orbital on the carbon atom overlaps with a p orbital on the
oxygen atom to create a 7t bond.
