Answer:
Explanation:Find the hybridization as well identify the pπ-pπ as well as pπ-dπ bonds in ClO2.
ClO2 has 2 σ bonds, 1 lone pair, 2π bonds and 1 odd electron.
Hybridisation is equal to number of σ bonds + lone pairs. Since we consider odd electron a lone pair like in NO2 therefore hybridisation is coming to be sp3. There will be no pπ-pπ bonding as all p orbitals are hybridised and there will be 3pπ-dπ bonds
But this is given wrong according to my textbook. What is my mistake?
pls stars ded do
