a lewis structure for the acetate ion is shown here: the ion is ch3co with an o atom double-bonded to the second (from left to right) carbon. the double-bonded o atom has two lone pairs. the other o atom has three lone pairs. the overall charge of the ion is 1 minus. which structure is the best resonance structure for the acetate ion?



Answer :

A lewis structure for the acetate ion is included the carbon hydrogen and the oxygen atom . the one oxygen atom is doubly bonded with the carbon atom and one is single  bonded with negative charge.

The acetate ion included the carbon hydrogen and the oxygen atom . the lewis structure of acetate ion is one O atom double-bonded to the carbon. the double-bonded O atom has two lone pairs. the other O atom has three lone pairs and  -1 negative charge.

The valence electron of the C atom  = 8

The valence electron of the H atom = 3

The valence electron of the O atom = 12

The total number of the valence electrons of the CH₃CO⁻ is = 24
