In the $HCOO^{-}$ anion,the two carbon-oxygen bonds are found to be of equal length. What is the reason for this?
- AThe anion $HCOO^{-}$ has two equivalent resonance structures.
- BThe anion is formed after the removal of a proton from the acid molecule.
- CThe electronic orbitals of the carbon atom are in hybridization.
