Consider the resonance structures for the carbonate ion. carbonate is a carbon double bonded to an oxygen with two lone pairs an

d single bonded to two oxygens, each with three lone pairs and a negative charge. The three resonance structures are all equivalent. How much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion? 0 −1.33 −0.33 −0.67 −0.50 −2.00 −1.00 −1.67 −1.50 What is the bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion?

Answer:

The correct answers are: <u>Each oxygen of carbonate ion has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u>Bond order of each carbon‑oxygen bond in the carbonate ion</u> = <u>1.33</u>

Explanation:

The carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is an organic compound, in which a carbon atom is covalently bonded to three oxygen atoms. The net formal charge on a carbonate ion is −2.

The carbonate ion is <u>resonance stabilized</u> and has three equivalent resonating structures, which exhibits that all the three carbon-oxygen bonds in a carbonate ion are equivalent.

In the resonance hybrid of carbonate ion,<u> the negative charge is equally delocalized on all the three oxygen atoms. </u>

<u>Thus, each bonded oxygen has -2/3 or -0.67 charge.</u>

<u />

In a carbonate ion there is one double bond oxygen (C=O) and two single bonded oxygen (C-O). Bond order of 1 C=O is 2 and bond order of C-O is 1.

∴ <u>Bond order</u> = sum of all bond orders ÷ number of bonding groups = (2+1+1) ÷ 3 = <u>1.33</u>

Copper has an atomic number of 29 and a mass number of 64. what would result if an uncharged copper atom lost two electrons?
nikklg [1K]

The atomic mass of an element is the number of times of an atom of that element is  heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. In simpler way, atomic mass is number of protons present in  nucleus of an atom, which is a characteristic of an chemical element and is determines place of the element in the periodic table.  Mass number is total number of protons and neutrons. If an uncharged atom looses electron from its outermost shell, it becomes cation, which is positively charged species. Atomic number and mass number do not change if electron goes out of an atom.

Uncharged copper after loosing two electrons is converted to Cu^{2+} which can be represented as follows:

Cu_{29} ^{64}→Cu^{2+}
