Detailed Solution
Hypochlorite ion : ClOΘChlorate ion : ClO3ΘPer chlorate ion : ClO4Θ1) Acidic order: HClO+1 ClO3–> ClO4– In chlorate ion bond angle changes due to presence of lone pair on chlorine atom. While hypochlorite ion is linear and perchlorate ion is tetrahedral and there is no effect of lone pair on hypochlorite ion(C) Disproportionation reaction of (i) hypochlorite ion : 3ClO⊖→2Cl−+ClO3θ (ii) Chlorate ion :4ClO3∘→3ClO4⊖+Cl⊖ (D) ClO−+SO32−→SO42−+ClB
