Q. Consider the bicarbonate ion (also called the hydrogen carbonate ion). After drawing the correct Lewis dot structure(s), you would see:
- two double bonds around the central carbon atom.
- three single bonds around the central carbon atom.
- four single bonds around the central carbon atom.
- two equivalent resonance forms.
- three equivalent resonance forms.
Answer: two equivalent resonance forms.
