Question
Explain the important aspect of resonance with reference to the $CO _3^{2-}$ ion.
✓
Answer
Resonance in, $CO _3^{2-}$ I, II and III represent the three canonical forms.
i. In these structures, the position of nuclei is the same.
ii. All the three forms have the almost equal energy
iii. The same number of paired and unpaired electrons they differ only in their position.
