Chlorate is trigonal pyramidal. There are 3xx6+7+1=26" electrons to distibute over 4 centres." O=Cl^(+)(-O^-)_2. There is a formal lone pair of electrons on Cl. Counting up the electrons …

Mar 9, 2016 · The formal charge lies on the oxygen atom. The carbonate dianion may be represented as (O=)C(-O^(-))_2, with a formal negative charge on 2 oxygen atoms. Introduce …

Oct 8, 2016 · 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 …

Jul 13, 2014 · Yes, the chlorate ion has three major contributors to the resonance hybrid. We can write three important equivalent Lewis structures for the chlorate ion.

The Lewis dot diagram for the covalent bonding of chlorine, (#Cl_2#), would be: When atoms are bonded ionically, the bond is represented by two dots between the element's chemical …

Jul 15, 2014 · 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 …

Mar 23, 2018 · Lewis dot structures are a key concept in understanding how atoms bond. Knowing the Lewis structure of an atom allows you to know how it will bond and how many …

May 13, 2018 · (Assuming that Cl_3^- was meant by Cl_3.) The total valence electrons for Cl_3^- is 7xx3+1=22, since Cl has 7 valence electrons and there's a negative charge (which adds 1 …

For "perchlorate anion, "ClO_4^-, there are 7+4xx6+1=32" valence electrons" to distribute. There are thus 16 electron pairs to distribute over 5 centres. ""^(-)O-Cl(=O)_3 You must fill in the …

Nov 6, 2015 · They are two completely different concepts. Bohr's model is one of the earliest model of atom in history, modified from Rutherford's model. In 1913, a Danish physicts, Niels …
