JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 1st February Morning Shift - No. 6)
Resonance in carbonate ion $$\left(\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-}\right)$$ is
Which of the following is true?
It is possible to identify each structure individually by some physical or chemical method.
All these structures are in dynamic equilibrium with each other.
Each structure exists for equal amount of time.
$$\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-}$$ has a single structure i.e., resonance hybrid of the above three structures.
Explanation
Resonating structure are hypothetical and
resonance hybrid is real structure which is
weighted average of all the resonating structures.
