(A) CO2
(B) CO32-
(C) CO31-
(D) CO

Answer 1

Answer:

co32- is the carbonate radical

Answer 2

Answer:

(B) CO32-

Explanation:

The formula of carbonate radical is CO32-.

Carbonate is an ion made up of one carbon and three atoms of oxygen. CO3 is a carbon trioxide which is a carbon or oxocarbon reactive oxide. Carbon trioxide can be present in a negative corona discharge drift area due to carbon dioxide (CO2) reacting to atomic oxygen (O) produced by free electrons in the plasma from molecular oxygen.
