Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 39

Question: Among the species : $ CO_2,CH_3CO{O^{-}}, $ $ CO,CO_3^{2-}, $ HCHO which has the weakest carbon- oxygen bond [Kerala PMT 2004]

Options:

A) $ CO_2 $

B) $ CH_3CO{O^{-}} $

C) CO

D) $ CO_3^{2-} $

E) HCHO

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Among the given species. The bond dissociation energy of $ C-O $ bond is minimum in case of $ CO_3^{2-} $ by which $ C-O $ bond become more weaker in $ CO_3^{2-} $ or the bond order of $ CO_3^{2-} $ (1.33) is minimum so the bond become weaker.
