Answer:
The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide
Explanation:
Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.
The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the <u>bond length and the bond order.</u>
Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0
Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) has three C-O partial double bonds. Bond order 1.5
Also, the bond length is <u>inversely proportional to the bond order and bond strength.</u>
Therefore, <u>order of C-O bond length:</u> Carbon monoxide<Carbon dioxide<Carbonate ion
<u>Order of C-O bond order</u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide
<u>Order of C-O bond strength or energy</u><u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide</u>
