The incorrect statement about carbonate ( CO _ 3 ^ 2 - ) ion is,
The incorrect statement about carbonate ion is,

Options
- AIt has planar structure
- BIt has one coordinate bond
- CIt has three resonating structure
- DHydrolysis of ion gives basic solution
Correct answer
B. It has one coordinate bond
Step-by-step solution
Resonating structure of carbonate ion are

In resonating structures bonds are not fixed and therefore, all bond lengths are equal.
The hybridisation of central atom is .
Thus, there is no coordinate bond present in . Hence, the second statement is incorrect.
