Problem 86AE
The substance chlorine monoxide, ClO(g), is important in atmospheric processes that lead to depletion of the ozone layer. The ClO molecule has an experimental dipole moment of 1.24 D, and the Cl—O bond length is 1.60 Å. (a) Determine the magnitude of the charges on the Cl and O atoms in units of the electronic charge, e. (b) Based on the electronegativities of the elements, which atom would you expect to have a partial negative charge in the ClO molecule? (c) Using formal charges as a guide, propose the dominant Lewis structure for the molecule. (d) The anion ClO-exists. What is the formal charge on the Cl for the best Lewis structure for ClO-?
