Question
Chapter 4, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The three resonance structure for the carbonate anion needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Sometimes two or more valid Lewis structures are possible for a given arrangement of atoms.
Resonance structures are two Lewis structures having the same arrangement of atoms but a different arrangement of electrons.

Draw three resonance structures for the carbonate anion (CO 3 2 −) that contain a central carbon atom.
Consider the formate ion, HCO2-,
which is the anion formed when
formic acid lose an H+ ion. The H and
the two O atoms are bonded to the
central C atom.
a) Draw the best Lewis structure for
this ion.
b) Are resonance structures needed
to describe this structure?
c) Would you predict that the C-O
bond lengths in the formate ion
would be longer or shorter relative to
those in CO2?
