The Lewis structure of Chloroacetate (H₂CClCO₂) is given below. In structure it is shown that carbon has a double bond with one oxygen atom and two single bonds with CH₂Cl and O⁻.

Formal Charge;
Formal charge is caculated as,

Formal charge = # of valence e⁻ - [# of lone pair of e⁻ + 1/2 # of bonded e⁻]

Formal charge on Oxygen (Highlighted Red);

Formal charge = 6 - [ 6 + 2/2]

Formal charge = 6 - [6 + 1]

Formal charge = 6 - [7]

Formal charge = -1

Use wedge-bond perspective drawings (if necessary) to sketch the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape clas

yuradex [85]

The atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has shape square pyramidal at the corers of square and one at the above center of the square.

<h3>What is square pyramidal?</h3>

The square pyramidal is a shape geometry of the hybridization in which it consists of one lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons that repel each other and due to which the geometry changes from octahedral to square pyramidal.

As atoms are located at the four corners of the planer and one atom at the above center of the planner which is repelled by 4 atoms present at the corner of the planer.

Therefore, the atom positions in a general molecule of formula (not shape class) AXn that has a shape square pyramidal at the corners of the square and one at the above center of the square.
