Bond angle is 1070 in
All oxo acids of Chlorine are monobasic….contain one O-H group/molecule ;
All the pi bonds in these acids or their oxanions are bonds ;
In all oxo acids of Chlorine the hybridization of Chlorine atom is sp3 ;
Cl-O bond order….
No resonance in Hypochlorite ion, two resonance structures in Chlorite ion, three resonance structures in Chlorate ion, four resonance structures in Perchlorate ion ;
Cl-O bond length….
Bond angle….-no bond angle …. diatomic species; - 1070 (3 bp+ 1 lp ); - 109.50(4 bp); In - 1110( 2 bp + 2 lp )….bp-bp repulsions dominate lp-lp repulsions ;
Acidic strength, oxidizing power, bleaching power…..
Basic strength…….
does not exhibit resonance ; cannot undergo disproportionation…'Cl' is in its highest O.S ;
Stability….
Note : While counting the sigma bonds in these acids never forget to count a sigma bond between O-H bond ;
Number of bond pairs around central atom = 5
Number of bond pairs around central according to VSPER theory =3
Number of lone pairs around central atom = 1
Orientation of electron pairs around central atom = Tetrahedral(sp3)
Shape of = pyramidal
Cl–O bond order = 5/3 = 1.66
It has three resonance structures.
