Question

formal charge of HCLO4 is 0 or 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Formal change on Cl=v-1/2S-l or Cl=7-1/2(8)-0=3

Formal change on the three oxygen atoms which has an electron pair shared by chlorine is formal change on 0=6-1/2(2)-6=-1

Formal change on the oxygen atoms which has an electron pair shared by chlorine and another by the hydrogen is formal change on

0=6-1/2(4)-0=-4

Formal change on the H=1-1/2(2)-0=0
