Q. Correct order of bond length is
A) ${CO}_{3}^{2 -} > CO_{2} > CO$
B) $CO_{2} > CO > {CO}_{3}^{2 -}$
C) $CO > CO_{2} > {CO}_{3}^{2 -}$
D) None of these
Explanation
(a)
[image:4_image115.emf]
Bond length increases when bond order decrease, hence the correct order of bond length is
${CO}_{3}^{2 -} > CO_{2} > CO$
