An carbon-to-oxygen single bond (i.e. C-O) has a bond energy of 358 kJ/mol and an carbon-to-oxygen double bond (i.e. C=O) has a bond energy of 749 kJ/mol. Estimate the value of the carbon-to-oxygen bond energy in the carbonate anion, CO32— .
Hint: draw the Lewis structure of CO32— , consider resonance and determine which type of bonds it has. Because of the resonance, the bond between C and O will be somewhere in between the single and double bond.

- What possible error(s) exist in the Lewis structure (assume we are trying to represent the best possible Lewis structure for the NO₂S ion knowing N is the central atom in this polyatomic ion)? [:ö==S: N= CO :O: The best structure would have double bond and two lone pairs on each oxygen atom and a single bond with three lone pairs on the sulfur. There are no errors. This is the best possible structure. The Lewis structure above does not minimize formal charges, thus is the not the best possible structure.
