Question: The correct order of decreasing bond lengths of CO, \(CO_{2}andCO_{3}^{2 -}\)is....

The correct order of decreasing bond lengths of CO, CO2andCO32CO_{2}andCO_{3}^{2 -}is.

A

CO>CO2>CO32CO > CO_{2} > CO_{3}^{2 -}

B

CO32>CO2>COCO_{3}^{2 -} > CO_{2} > CO

C

CO2>CO>CO32CO_{2} > CO > C{O_{3}}^{2 -}

D

CO2>CO32>COCO_{2} > C{O_{3}}^{2 -} > CO

Answer

CO32>CO2>COCO_{3}^{2 -} > CO_{2} > CO

Explanation

Solution

: As the bond order increases, bond length decrease.
