Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2023 · 1 February, Shift 1

Resonance in carbonate ion (CO32−)(CO_3^{2-}) is:

Three resonance structures of carbonate ion are shown with double bond alternating among the three oxygen atoms.Embedded resize handle artifact adjacent to the carbonate ion resonance structure image from the scraped source.
  • A

    All these structures are in dynamic equilibrium with each other.

  • B

    Each structure exists for equal amount of time.

  • C

    CO32−CO_3^{2-} has a single structure i.e., resonance hybrid of the above three structures.

  • D

    It is possible to identify each structure individually by some physical or chemical method.
