For the carbonate ion, CO3 2−, draw all of the resonance structures. Identify which orbitals overlap to create each bond.
The carbonate anion, CO32- , is a resonance hybrid. Draw all of the important resonance structures for this molecule. If an atom has a nonzero formal charge, be sure the formal charge is shown clearly in the structure. Use the resonance structures to calculate the average formal charge on each O atom (which are all equivalent in the "true" structure). [Note: all of the important contributing resonance structures have octets around each atom that desires an octet.]
Consider the CO 3 2– ion.
How many valence electrons does the ion have?
How many lone pairs of electrons are on the central atom?
How many lone pairs of electrons in total are on the substituent atoms?
How many resonance structures can be drawn for the ion? If the ion doesn't exhibit resonance, indicate "1" as only one structure can be drawn for the ion.
