Answer : The Lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, chlorine has '7' valence electron and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 1(4) + 2(7) + 1(6) = 24
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 16 number of non-bonding electrons.
