Best Answer

::O=:Cl.=O:: <-----best i could do on a comp but u know what i mean

Valence electrons = 19

Chlorine attaches to the oxygens through double bonds, and and each oxygen has two lone pairs to complete its octet. The chlorine also one lone pair and one electron. Chlorine in this structure obviously doesnot obeys octet rule but in chlorine there is 3d subshell in which electrons are promoted and hence chlorine can also have 3,5 and 7 bonds.

The Lewis dot structure for sodium acetate starts with a pair of singly bonded C atoms in the middle. The right C has three H atoms singly bonded to it, and the left C has one O atom singly bonded and another O atom doubly bonded. The singly bonded O atom has a pair of dots on each unbonded side and the other O atom is singly bonded to the H atom and has a pair of dots.

The Lewis Structure for HClO3 is as follows:

Place 'Cl' atom as central atom with one pair of valence electrons. Draw single bonds to 3 'O' atoms. Two 'O' atoms have 3 pairs of valence electrons. The third has 2 pairs of valence electrons, from this one, draw another single bond to a 'H' atom. I'll try to draw it out with its formal charges... sorry, there is no way to draw the valence electrons...

O---Cl2+--O0--H0

O-

Hope this helped. I hate Mastering Chemistry too, in case that is what you're doing...

Cl - C - Cl

=

O(double bond with C)

DONT FORGET VALENCE ELECTRONS

CL 's - 7

O - 6

C - 4

The Lewis structure of OCl2 has each Cl atom single bonded to an O atom in the center. The unbonded side of every atom then has a pair of dots.
