Draw a molecular orbital diagram for ClO- anion. Indicate the bond order. Draw a Lewis dot structure. Assuming Cl 3s orbital is too low in energy to interact with O.
Added by Richard W.
Step 1
In ClO-, there are 17 electrons from Cl, 6 electrons from O, and an additional electron due to the negative charge. Therefore, there are a total of 24 electrons in ClO-. Show more…
