The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given species contains a D-Pi and P-Pi bond, we need to analyze the bonding in each of the given ions: CO3^2-, PO4^3-, NO3^-, and NO2^-. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Valence Electrons:** - **CO3^2- (Carbonate Ion)**: - Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons. - Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. - Total valence electrons = 4 + (3 × 6) + 2 (for the 2- charge) = 22 electrons. - **PO4^3- (Phosphate Ion)**: - Phosphorus (P) has 5 valence electrons. - Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. - Total valence electrons = 5 + (4 × 6) + 3 (for the 3- charge) = 32 electrons. - **NO3^- (Nitrate Ion)**: - Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons. - Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. - Total valence electrons = 5 + (3 × 6) + 1 (for the -1 charge) = 24 electrons. - **NO2^- (Nitrite Ion)**: - Nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons. - Each Oxygen (O) has 6 valence electrons. - Total valence electrons = 5 + (2 × 6) + 1 (for the -1 charge) = 18 electrons. 2. **Determine the Bonding Types:** - **CO3^2-**: - The bonding involves 2p orbitals of Carbon and 2p orbitals of Oxygen, leading to P-Pi bonds. - **PO4^3-**: - The bonding involves 3d orbitals of Phosphorus and 2p orbitals of Oxygen, leading to D-Pi and P-Pi bonds. - **NO3^-**: - The bonding involves 2p orbitals of Nitrogen and 2p orbitals of Oxygen, leading to P-Pi bonds. - **NO2^-**: - The bonding involves 2p orbitals of Nitrogen and 2p orbitals of Oxygen, leading to P-Pi bonds. 3. **Conclusion:** - Among the given options, only **PO4^3- (Phosphate Ion)** contains both D-Pi and P-Pi bonds due to the involvement of the 3d orbitals of Phosphorus. ### Final Answer: The species that contains a D-Pi and P-Pi bond is **PO4^3- (Phosphate Ion)**.
