STANDARD Chemistry Bonding in Polyatomic Ions MCQ Question
In the dichromate anion Cr₂O₇²⁻,
all Cr–O bonds are equivalent
6Cr–O bonds are equivalent
3Cr–O bonds are equivalent
no bonds in Cr₂O₇²⁻ are equivalent
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In the dichromate ion, there are six equivalent Cr–O bonds due to resonance. The structure involves two CrO₄ tetrahedra sharing a corner, leading to equivalent bond lengths for the terminal oxygens.
