Resonance in carbonate ion CO 3 2 - is Which of the following is true?

Options

  1. AIt is possible to identify each structure individually by some physical or chemical method.
  2. BAll these structures are in dynamic equilibrium with each other.
  3. CEach structure exists for equal amount of time.
  4. DCO 3 2 - has a single structure i.e., resonance hybrid of the above three structures.

Correct answer

D. CO 3 2 - has a single structure i.e., resonance hybrid of the above three structures.

Step-by-step solution

Resonating structure are hypothetical and resonance hybrid is real structure which is weighted average of all the resonating structures. So, CO 3 2 - has a single structure i.e. resonance hybrid of the three structures.
