$\mathrm{FClO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{3} \mathrm{ClO}$ can both gain a fluoride ion to form stable anions. $\mathrm{F}_{3} \mathrm{ClO}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{3} \mathrm{ClO}_{2}$ will both lose a fluoride ion to form stable cations. Draw the Lewis structures and describe the hybrid orbitals used by chlorine in these ions.

Step 1

Draw the Lewis structures for the given molecules and ions: - $\mathrm{FClO}_{2}$: Chlorine is the central atom, with single bonds to one fluorine atom and two oxygen atoms. There are three lone pairs on the chlorine atom, two lone pairs on each oxygen atom, and Show more…
