The carbonate anion, CO32- , is a resonance hybrid. Draw all of the important resonance structures for this molecule. If an atom has a nonzero formal charge, be sure the formal charge is shown clearly in the structure. Use the resonance structures to calculate the average formal charge on each O atom (which are all equivalent in the "true" structure). [Note: all of the important contributing resonance structures have octets around each atom that desires an octet.]
5. (i) Provide possible resonance structure, (ii) evaluate the resonance structures with formal
charge to identify the best structure, (iii) provide the resonance hybrid, the (iv) molecular
geometry, and (v) discuss the bond angles.

A new element, Bw, has been identified to be
part of Period 10 Group VIIA. Draw the proper
structure of the polyatomic ion, BwCl2S3 ^ - .
According to VSEPR theory, this ion has a
molecular shape of [1]. (Type the shape exactly
as written on the table provided to you on the
exam data sheet) The formal charge of the Bw
atom must be [2]. (Type in the charge including a
sign and numberi.e. +1, -1, -2, +2, 0, etc.)
