(c) \(\mathrm{ClO}^{-}\)
(d) \(\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}\)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The Lewis dot structure provides a picture of bonding in molecules and ions in terms of the shared pairs of electrons and the octet rule. While such a picture may not explain the bonding and behavior of a molecule completely, it does help in understanding the formation and properties of a molecule to a large extent. Writing of Lewis dot structures of molecules is, therefore, very useful.
