Write down the resonance structure(s) for :
(i) SO 4 2– (ii) CH 3 COO –
(iii) HCO 3 – (iv) NO 3 – (v) PO 4 3–
Also calculate average bond order of M–O bond in these compounds.
Where M is central atom (And M–O bonds considered are the one which involve delocalization)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(i) 
Bond order = 
= 1.5
(ii) 
Bond order = 1 + 
= 1.5
(iii) 
Bond order = 1 + 
= 1.5
(iv) 
Bond order = 1 + 
= 1.33
(v) 
Bond order = 1 + 
= 1.25
