Question: Draw the lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion, ClO- . Include lone pairs.

2015年10月26日 · Write the Lewis structure of chlorine monoxide, ClO. I wrote the Lewis structure with one single bond connecting Cl and O atoms, giving Cl three pairs of electrons (satisfying octet), and giving O atom two pairs of electron and one lone electron. The formal charges on chlorine and oxygen are both 0.

2015年10月22日 · For ClO, the answer guide says that in its lewis structure, the Cl and the O are bonded by a single bond, with 3 pairs of lone electrons on the oxygen atom, and 2 pairs of lone electrons + 1 unpaired electron on the Cl atom.

2014年7月15日 · For "ClO"_2^"-", "Cl" is the less electronegative atom. So, "Cl" is the central atom The skeleton structure is "O-Cl-O". The trial structure is You have 20 valence electrons in your trial structure. The valence electrons you have available are: "1 Cl + 2 O + 1 e" = 1×7 + 2×6 + 1 = 20. Hence, the trial structure has the correct number of ...

2023年11月8日 · Re: ClO Lewis dot structure Post by Kian K » Wed Nov 08, 2023 9:49 pm For the first 2 parts of your question it can be explained with formal charge, as assigning the single electron to chlorine gives it a formal charge of 0.

2016年10月8日 · These try to depict the electronic structure of ClO^- anion. In fact the given diagram is highly misleading and ambiguous. The valence electrons around the chlorine atom were depicted. Why should only the chlorine-based electrons be? As written, the chlorine atom is neutral. A similar depiction should have been given around oxygen, and here a formal …

2016年7月30日 · In both examples, the chlorine atom is neutral, and the charge is presumed to reside on oxygen. For Cl, and O, there are 7, and 6 valence electrons respectively associated with the neutral atoms. For hypochlorite ion, Cl-O^-, we have to distribute 7+6+1 electrons in the Lewis structure. There are thus 7 electron pairs. One of these electron pairs is conceived to form the …

2018年10月18日 · The solution manual shows that for ClO, the lewis structure would be a single bond between Cl and O, however, leaving five valence electrons on Cl. I don't understand why there are only five valence electrons left in this lewis structure for Cl since Cl has seven valence electrons, and by sharing one with oxygen, it should have six valence ...

2011年12月1日 · However, experimentally determined bond lengths for ClO match more closely to what is found in molecules with Cl-O single bonds, and thus ClO is drawn with a single bond. This difference is difficult to predict, especially for a class this level, so a structure with a Cl=O double bond would be reasonable to expect, even though it turns out not ...

Enter the Lewis structure for the ClO− ion. Draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Use square brackets to denote the overall charge.
