Question

What is the the shape (molecular geometry) of clo2-?

Answer 1

V shaped (based on tetra herald)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge \textbf \green{ans} \textbf \orange{wer}$

The total electron pair around central atom chlorine is four so, the geometry will be tetrahedral which is shown as follows: All four electron pairs are not the same,out of four two are bond pairs and two are lone pairs. So, the shape of ClO−2 ion is angular.
