Two oxoanions containing chlorine are chlorate (ClO_(3))^(-)and chlorite (ClO_(2))^(-). Determine Lewis structures and describe the bonding for
each of these anions, including delocalized \pi bonds.
Draw the Lewis structure of (ClO_(3))^(-).
SN_(Cl)=

what geometry and the \sigma bond framework can be
described using (sp or sp3 or sp2)
hybrids on Cl overlapping with (1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8) (d or p or f or s) \pi syst
orbitals from O . The resonance structures signal that
