Number of bond pairs around central atom = 3
Number of bond pairs around central atom according to VSPER theory = 2 (one single bond and one double bond)
Number of lone pairs around central atom = 2
Orientation of electron pairs around central atom = Tetrahedral(sp3)
Shape of ClO2-= Angular
Cl–O bond order = 3/2 = 1.5
It has two resonance structures.
