(e) may be either bonding or antibonding. 2. Carbon monoxide has ten bonding electrons and four antibonding electrons. Therefore it has a bond order of (a) 3 (b) 7 (c) 1 (d) 5/2 (e) 2 3. Which of the following is the correct electron configuration for C 2? (a) 1s 2 2s 2 2py 2 * 1s 2 * 2s 2 * 2py 2 (b) 1s 2 * 1s 2 2s 2 * 2s 2 2py 2 * 2pz 1 2p 1 ...
The C–O bond order in methanol is one. The C–O bond order in formaldehyde is two. The C–O bond order in the carbonate ion is 4/3. Therefore, the C–O bond length in the carbonate ion should be closer to 143 pm than to 116 pm. We can calculate a bond length by assuming that bond length vs. bond order is linear between bond orders one and two.
