Determine the molecular geometry of CO32â».
Solution
The Lewis dot structure fir carbonate is a central carbon single-bonded to two
oxygens and double bonded to the third oxygen. This is one of three equivalent resonance
structures, i.e., each of the oxygens could be the C=O bond. So the central carbon has three
substituents attached to it (the three oxygens), The VSEPR geometry for three substituents
around a central atom is the triangle (planar). This geometry gets the three C-O bonds as far apart
as possible (120 degrees).
