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.
Explanation:
Beryllium is a group 2 element and its atomic number is 4. Electronic configuration of beryllium is .
Since, a beryllium contains two valence electrons so, in order to attain stability it will readily lose its 2 valence electrons.
Therefore, a beryllium atom upon losing two valence electrons will acquire a +2 charge.
Thus, we can conclude that the net ion charge of Beryllium is +2.
