Answer:
D
Explanation:
We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.
Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.
Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.
The Lewis structures for formate ion and carbon dioxide are shown in the attached pictures. As you can see, the formate ion consists of one C=O bond and one C-O bond, while carbon dioxide has two C=O bonds. Double bonds are weaker, hence, longer compared to single bonds. Therefore, the C-O bonds in the formate ion is shorter than those in carbon dioxide.
