Question

The bond order and charge per oxygen atom in
HSO4- are respectively​

Answer 1

★ Bond order of the compound HSO4– : 5/3

★ Charge on each oxygen atom is : (-1/3)

★ Since the ( -1 ) charge is distributed evenly on 3 oxygen atoms.

★ Bond order is nothing but number of bonds present between any 2 atoms.

★Bond order = (number of bonds formed between two atoms in all structures) / ( total number of resonating structures).
