Place the following in order of decreasing XO bond length,where "X" represents the central atom in each of the following compounds or ions: $\quad$SiO₃²^- $\quad$CO₂ $\quad$CO₃²^-

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Si-O bond in SiO3^2- is longer than the C-O bond in CO3^2- due to the larger size of Si compared to C. In CO2, the C=O double bonds are shorter than the C-O single bonds in CO3^2-.
