Carbonate Ion Lewis Structure. In carbonate ion there is two oxygen atoms which has 1 charge on each of them. Then draw the other two major resonance structures that fit the octet rule.
Then draw the other two major resonance structures that fit the octet rule. The lewis structure of the carbonate ion has two long single bonds to negative oxygen atoms and one short double bond to a neutral oxygen. I also go over the resonance hybridization shape and bond angle.
Then draw the other two major resonance structures that fit the octet rule.
Then draw the other two major resonance structures that fit the octet rule. Then draw the other two major resonance structures that fit the octet rule. I quickly take you through how to draw the lewis structure of co3 2 carbonate ion. This structure is incompatible with the observed symmetry of the ion which implies that the three bonds are equally long and that the three oxygen atoms are equivalent.
