Use resonance-averaged Lewis bond orders for carbonate, elementary MO order for CO, and the displayed peroxo complex MoO(O₂)₂ in which each O₂ unit is peroxide. Which statements are correct?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:
The stated models give C–O orders4/3, 2, 3, respectively. MoO(O₂)₂ has one ordinary oxide(−2) and four peroxide oxygens(−1 each), total−6, so Mo is+6. Assigning−2 to all five oxygens ignores the O–O bonds and creates the spurious+10. Bond length comparisons need both bond order and atomic size/environment; D states that limit.
