Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Interpret the resonance structures for CO3-2.
Concept Introduction:
Resonance is the term which indicates about the equivalency in the structure obtained after shifting of the double bond in the chain. The shifting of double bonds takes place due to the transferring or flow of electrons in it. This is only possible if there are conjugated double bond or a double bond and negative charge.
(b)
Interpretation:
Interpret the shape of carbonate ion around C atom.
Concept Introduction:
The shape of a molecule can be determined with the help of VSEPR theory in which the structure of the molecule is drawn which shows the arrangement of surrounding atoms around the central atom.
The shape of molecule is decided by counting the lone pair of electrons along with bond pair.
Bond pair | Lone pair | Geometry of molecule |
2 | 0 | Linear |
3 | 0 | Trigonal planar |
2 | 1 | Bent |
4 | 0 | Tetrahedral |
3 | 1 | Trigonal pyramidal |
2 | 2 | Bent |
5 | 0 | Trigonal bipyramidal |
4 | 1 | See saw |
3 | 2 | T shaped |
2 | 3 | Linear |
6 | 0 | Octahedral |
4 | 2 | Square planar |
