The bond length of C = O bond in CO is 1...

The bond length of `C = O` bond in `CO` is `1.20 Å` and in `CO_(2)` it is `1.34 Å` Then `C = O` bond length in `CO_(3)^(2-)` will be .

A

`1.50Å`

B

`1.34Å`

C

`1.29Å`

D

`0.95Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `CO_(3)^(2-)` due to resonance, C =0 bond length is in between triple and double bond, i.e. in between 1.2 and 1.34. Thus, answer is 1.29 Å
