oxygen - chlorine - oxgyen[/quote]
i think, it's not correct..
here;
so, here's how to get a lewis
structure..
we know that ClO3 is a covalent
bond.. right..
1. get the total valence electron
of clo3 which is 25.
2. multiply the subscript
by 8 because it's non hydrogen.
8x4=32.
3. subtract your answer in #2 to #1.
32-25=7.[total bonding electron]
4.divide 7 by 2, to get the number
of bond lines.. which is 4..
O
ll
5. O-Cl-O
6. subtract your answer in #1 to #3.
so 25-7=18..
so 18 is the no. of electrons that do not
participate during bonding or lone pairs..
so, [i]ikaw na bahala maglagay
nung mga dots.. dapat 18 ah..
[/i]
