A Lewis structure for the acetate ion

(CH_(3)CO_(2)^(-))

is shown below.\ Experimental evidence suggests that the

C

to

O

bond length in acetate is

1.33\\\\angstrom

, longer than a typical

C=O

double bond

(1.23\\\\angstrom )

and shorter than a typical

C-O

single bond

(1.43\\\\angstrom )

. Provide an explanation, showing structures as necessary.

Lewis structure for the acetate ion (CH3CO2)is shown below. Experimental evidence suggests that the C to O bond length in acetate is 1.33A, longer than a typical C=O double bond (1.23A) and shorter than a typical CO single bond (1.43A).
