The Basic Structure of the Carbonate Ion, CO₃^2-, Is Determined $\sigma$

True/False

The basic structure of the carbonate ion, CO₃^2-, is determined by the $\sigma$ -bonds., Each of the atoms has sp² hybrid orbitals, and each oxygen atom also has an unhybridized p orbital, which overlaps with a p orbital on carbon to form a delocalized ?-electron cloud.
