:::O-Cl::=O::
So formal charge of first oxygen is (6 ve-6 dots-1 line)=-1
Chlorine (7 ve-4 dots-3 lines)=0
second oxygen (6 ve-4dots-2 lines)=0
so total charge -1+0+0=-1

How do you draw the Lewis structure for h2s2?
h-s=s-h
Is PH3 a Lewis acid or base?
It is a lewis base because of its lone pair of electrons that can be "donated". If you draw/look at the lewis structure it is much easier to tell. Especially when the formula is not that of an ion!
What is the hybridization of the central sulfur atom in SF4?
It should be sp3d. first draw the Lewis structure. then you can see the central S atom has 4 bonding pair and 1 lone pair. then draw molecular orbital. Distribute electron according the bonding and lone pair. the paired electron represent lone pair in Lewis structure. and the other unpaired electron distribute in the molecular orbital represent the number of bonding pair in Lewis structure
Between H2NNH2 and HNNH which molecule has the stronger N-N bond?
the answer is HNNH the reason for this is the double bond if you draw out the lewis structure

How do you draw the Lewis structure for an acetate ion?
I uploaded a jpg of the acetate ion Lewis structure to imageshack. Just click the "related link" below and you should see it. Many people draw Lewis Structures with minor variations, but this should give you the basic idea.

What does the Lewis dot structure for sodium look like?
Will this link help you?, it is quite impossible to draw a Lewis dot structure in this simple text editor. See related links.
What is the Lewis structure of ethanol?
See this question for how to draw the Lewis Dot structure of any molecule:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_draw_Lewis_dot_structuresHow do you draw Lewis dot structures?]
How do you draw a Lewis dot structure of AsI3?
To draw the Lewis dot structure of AsI3, start by writing the chemical symbols for arsenic and iodine. Arsenic contributes 5 valence electrons, while iodine contributes 7 valence electrons each. Connect the atoms with single bonds between arsenic and each iodine atom, and then distribute the remaining electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Remember to place lone pairs on the iodine atoms to complete their octets. The final structure should show arsenic bonded to three iodine atoms with lone pairs on the iodine atoms.
What is the Lewis structure for calcium nitride?
The Lewis structure for calcium nitride (Ca3N2) consists of one calcium atom with two nitrogen atoms bonded to it. The calcium atom donates two electrons to each nitrogen atom, forming ionic bonds. The calcium atom has a 2+ charge, while each nitrogen atom has a 3- charge.
