Question

the hybrid orbital used by chlorine atom in CLO2- ion is​

Answer 1

Answer:

s, p and d.

Explanation:

We know that the ClO2- is having the sp3 hybridization.  

In which the ground state electronic configuration of Cl is 3s​2 3p5 .

And the excited state electronic configuration of Cl is 3s2 3p4 3d1 .

So, the electronic configuration of O will be 2s2 2p4.

From above we get that the chlorine is having sp3 hybridization. The lone electrons are in s and p orbitals while the two singly filled p-orbitals will be forming the sigma bonds. While the Pi bond is being formed after that by the overlap of the half filled 3d orbital with the half filled 2p orbital of the O atom.
