How many electrons are used in bonding the Lewis structure of `C_2O_4^(2-)` (oxalate) ion ?

A

22

B

20

C

18

D

14

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`""^(-) O-overset(O)overset(||)C - O-overset(O)overset(||)C - O ^(-)`
No . of covalent bonds = 7
therefore no. of electrons involved in bonding
` = 7xx2 = 14 `
