Question

Clo3− draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons. Show the formal charges of all nonhydrogen atoms.

Answer 1

The formal charges of all nonhydrogen atoms are -1.

Solution:-

O 7-4 = 3 O Double bond on one H 5-4 = 1

O-Cl-O 6-7 = -1x4 = -4 N 5-4=1 H-N-H 1-1=0

O 3-4= -1 O O 6-7 = -1(2)=-2 H 1-0=+1

6-6 = 0 1-2 = -1

It will percentage its last valence electron thru a single bond to the terminal oxygen atom. This is in agreement with carbon and hydrogen atoms that each need to form 4 and 1 covalent bonds respectively. because the terminal oxygen atom best has a single covalent bond, it'll have a proper rate of -1.

According to the lewis structure of SO2, The critical atom is sulfur and it is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms thru a double bond. each oxygen atom acquires 2 lone pairs of electrons and the primary sulfur atom has 1 lone pair of electrons.
