Like several other bonds, carbon-oxygen bonds have lengths and strengths that depend on the bond order. Draw Lewis structures for the following species, and arrange them in order of increasing carbon-oxygen bond length and then by increasing carbonoxygen bond strength: (a) CO; (b) CO32-; (c) H2CO; (d) CH4O; (e) HCO3- (H attached to O).
