2) What is the order from the weakest to the strongestcarbon-oxygen bond? (CH3OH exists asH3COH.) CH3OH,CO32- ,CO2,CO

Explanation / Answer

the answer for both parts is CH3OH, CO32- , CO2, CO the answer for both parts is the same since shorter bonds arestonger since the C-O bond in CH3OH is a single bond it is thelongest and therefore the weakest the CO3-2 has 1 double bond and 2 singlebonds so the average bond is 1.33 in CO2, the C-O bonds are both double bonds andtherefore shorter and stronger than both of the previousmolecules in CO, the C-O bond is a triple bond and therefore the shortest andstrongest
