In an anion `HCOO^-` the two carbon-oxygen bonds are found to be equal length. What is the reason for it?

A

The anion is obtained by the removal of a proton from the acid molecule.

B

Electronic orbtials of carbon atoms are hybridised.

C

The `C=O` bond is weaker than `C-O` bond.

D

The anion `HCOO^(-)` has two equally stable resonating structures.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

In `HCOO^(-)`, the carbon oxygen bonds are of equal length because the anion `HCOO^(-)` has two equaly stable resonating structures.
