Calculate the formal charge on Cl atom in HCIO4



Dont give irrelevant answer of follow me and all as i dont have intrest to follow anyone
only if u know ans then give otherwise stay away​

Answer 1

Answer:

HClO4 is still neutral because we can look at the formal charges in the Lewis structure to determine the charge of HClO4. The Cl atom would have three double bonds with three oxygen atoms and one single bond with OH, causing the formal charge of Cl to be 0 (7-(0+14/2))

Answer 2

Answer:

chlorine has negative sign

Explanation:

the charge would be:-

H- hydrogen = 1u

Cl - 35.5 u

O. oxygen equal to 16u

the charge of of CL that is chlorine atom is Cl -

chlorine minus
