What is the Lewis dot structure of Cl2O2?

Answer 1

This shows the BONDING PAIRS, the dots are from the oxygen and the commas show the chlorine electrons. the oxygen will have 2 lone pairs and the chlorine atoms both ave 3 lone pairs each. hope this helped

Answer 2

a) find total number of Valence Electrons: i. Chlorine has 7 valence e- per Cl atom. ii. There are two atoms of Cl per Cl2. iii. Total Valence e- = 2(7) = 14 e- b) arrange dots around 2 Chlorine atoms. .. .. :Cl--Cl:

what is the lewis structure for Cl2?

Answer 3

The Lews dot structure starts with the O atom in the center with two single bonds each attached to a single Cl atom. On the unbonded sides of the atoms are two dots each, to represent the unbonded electrons.

Answer 4

One Cl is bonded with another and has 6 e-'s. The central Cl has 1 lone pair and is bonded to the 1 Cl and double bonded to the O's in order to reduce the Formal Charge

Cl------Cl===O

ll

O

Cl has 6 electrons

Central Cl has 2 electrons

Both O's have 4

Answer 5

::O=C=O:: Best I could do on the computer, but that's it. O has two lone pairs to complete it's octet, and each is double bonded with carbon.
