For part a, we're working with carbonate, co3, with a minus 2 charge.
00:08
All right.
00:08
And we know, so we have a central carbon atom, double bond to one of the oxygens, the single bonds to the other oxygens.
00:18
And the overall structure has a minus 2 charge, so we indicate that with brackets.
00:27
Another structure we could draw if we keep all of the atoms in place, but just move the location of the double bond like so.
00:40
And again, overall negative 2 charge.
00:44
And these two, and i already draw the aeropreactively, are resonance forms because you're just keeping all the atoms intact and moving the location of the double bond.
00:56
Of course, you could draw, it says to drudges too.
00:59
You could draw another one where the double bond comes over here to this oxygen, and all three are going to be representations of what actually exists as a hybrid in nature...
