In the anion $HCOO^-$,the two carbon-oxygen bonds are found to be of equal length. What is the reason?
- AThe $C=O$ bond is weaker than the $C-O^-$ bond.
- BThe anion is obtained by the removal of a proton from acid molecules.
- CThe anion has two equivalent contributing resonating structures.
- DCarbon is present in the $sp^2$ state of hybridization.
