The correct order of increasing C–O bond strength of CO, \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}\) is :
  1. \(\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}<\mathrm{CO}_{2}<\mathrm{CO}\)
  2. \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}<\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}<\mathrm{CO}\)
  3. \(\mathrm{CO}<\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}<\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
  4. \(\mathrm{CO}<\mathrm{CO}_{2}<\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}\)

Answer

(A) CO _ 3 ^ 2- < CO _ 2 < CO
