Question

Hybridization of clo4-1

Answer 1

Lewis structure:

Central atom: chlorine

Valence electrons on central atom: 7

4 terminal oxygens each contribute 1 electron in the four σ bonds 4

Total: 8

Answer 2

Here...

In hybridization ,pi bonds doesn't take any part..

So

=> sigma bond = 4

=> number of lone pairs = 0

=> Hybridization = number of lone pair + number of sigma bond. =4+0 =4

So it's hybridization = SP³
