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.
Answer:
The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as
where s denote shielding
z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge
Z - atomic number
Explanation:
shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell. Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.
Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.
The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as
wheres denote shielding
z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge
Z - atomic number
