The answer is D
I took the test and I got this answer, it was correct :)
I don’t care if I get brainliest I just want to help
Answer:
bent
Explanation:
The chlorite ion has been pictured in the image attached with its two main resonance contributors.
The ion has four regions of electron density as shown. On the basis of the VSEPR theory, we expect a tetrahedral geometry.
However, the ion is bent due to the effect of the lone pairs on chlorine which is the central atom in the ion. This distorts the bond angle of the ion hence the ion has a bent molecular geometry.
Variations in electronegativity prompt in the unequal halves of electrons in polar molecules because when one atom is more electronegative than the other, it becomes more polar than the other.
It results in the more electronegative atom to have a slightly negative (-ve) charges, and the other atom to have partial or slightly positive(+ve) charges.
Polar molecules have unequal sharing of electrons because the atoms have unequal attraction for electrons so the sharing is unequal.
The larger the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the more the polar the bond.
Hydrogen bonds are involved in unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms.

The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that combine to form water molecules are bound together by covalent bonds. The electron from the hydrogen splits its time between the incomplete outer shell of the hydrogen atom and the incomplete outer shell of the oxygen atom.
