Explanation The bond length of a molecule is inversely proportional to multiplicity of the bond. Greater the multiplicity of bond, shorter is the bond length. The Lewis structure for CO as shown in Figure 1 below shows that there is a C-O triple bond. Figure 1 The Lewis structure for CO 2 as shown in Figure 2 below shows that there are two C-O double bonds. Figure 2 The Lewis structure for CO 3 2 − as shown in Figure 3 below shows that there are two C-O two single bonds and one C-O double bond.

What would be the best choices for the missing reagents 1 and 3 in this synthesis? 1. PPh3 3 2. n-BuLi • Draw the missing reagents in the drawing area below. You can draw them in any arrangement you like. • Do not draw the missing reagent 2. If you draw 1 correctly, we'll know what it is. • Note: if one of your reagents needs to contain a halogen, use bromine. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.
