Question 13 (1 point) For the Lewis Structure of HCIO, how many total groups are around the chlorine? 01

Answer 1

Answer In the formation of a molecule, only the outer shell elections are involved and they are called as valence electrons. * G.N. Lewis introduced simple symbols to denote the valence shell electrons in an atom. the outershell elections are shown as dots surroundings the symbol of the atom. These symbols are called as Lewis symbols. Significance of Lewis symbols : * Given chemical formula is Hdo (Hypochlorous acid), we know the chemical formula, but we don't know the how the atoms are bonded together. This can be explained by Lewis structure. This includes following steps. step 1; * we need to count valence elections of each atom in the chemical formula. Atom valence elections Total 14 step 2: * We know that helo is an oxyacid, * In general, in oxyacids the hydrogen must be bonded to the oxygen alom, and hydrogen atom is not the central alom) for oxyacids. Hence oxygen must be central atoo) * The placement of the atoms in the Lewis structure looks. I like this Hod Scanned with CamScanner

Step 3 * In this step insest pairs of elections between the - atoms. In too, there are 14 valence electrons, so if we add the elections in between each atom. we have 10 electrons left H..0..d on step y * Form a covalent bond between these above shown atoms by sharing of elections which are nearer to corresponding atom. H ord * Finally l0 elections are left and indicated as lone pair of elections on corresponding atom, as shown below H-o-c y this is the Lewis structur # from the Lewis structure of Helo we can say that only 1 oH group is present around the chlorine atom so correct option is 1 summary for the Lewis structure of Holo, only i total group is around the chlorine.
