    The correct order of \[C-O\] bond length among \[CO,\,\,CO_{3}^{2-},\,C{{O}_{2}}\] is:          [AIPMT (S) 2007]

    A)  \[C{{O}_{2}}<CO_{3}^{2-}<CO\]    

    B)  \[CO<CO_{3}^{2-}<C{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[CO_{3}^{2-}<C{{O}_{2}}<CO~\] 

    D)  \[CO<C{{O}_{2}}<CO_{3}^{2-}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A bond length is the average distance between the centres of nuclei of two bonded atoms. A multiple bond (double or triple bond) is always shorter than die corresponding single bond.
               
                The C-atom in \[CO_{3}^{2-}\] is \[s{{p}^{2}}\] hybridized as shown
                The C-atom in \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is sp-hybridized with bond distance of carbon-oxygen is 122 pm.
                \[\begin{align}   & O==C==O\overset{{}}{\longleftrightarrow}{{\,}^{+}}O\,\equiv \equiv \,C\equiv \equiv C-\bar{O}\overset{{}}{\longleftrightarrow} \\  & \bar{O}--C\equiv \equiv \overset{+}{\mathop{O}}\, \\ \end{align}\]
                The C-atom in CO is sp-hybridized with \[C-O\] bond distance is 110 pm : \[C\equiv {{O}^{+}}\]: So the correct order is \[CO<C{{O}_{2}}<CO_{3}^{2-}\].
