The incorrect statement about carbonate $({CO}_{3}^{2 -})$ ion is,

Answer:

Solution:

Resonating structure of carbonate ${CO}_{3}^{2 -}$ ion are

In resonating structures bonds are not fixed and therefore, all bond lengths are equal.

The hybridisation of central atom is ${sp}^{2}$ .

Thus, there is no coordinate bond present in ${CO}_{3}^{2 -}$ . Hence, the second statement is incorrect.
