No it is bent.
ClO2
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
This bond is covalent.
beryllium, Be, and chlorite, ClO2 . Be has a 2+ charge, and ClO2 has a 1- charge. To make a formula for beryllium chlorite, the charges must be balanced at 0. Since Be is 2+, and ClO2 is 1-, there needs to be 2 ClO2 to equal 0. +2 + -2=0. The formula is Be(ClO2)2
There is ClO2 and ClO2^-. For the chlorite anion (ClO2^-) the Cl will have 10 electrons and will violate the octet rule. For ClO2, all elements will have 8 electrons.
ClO2 → Cl + O2
in ClO2 ,the central Cl atom is sp2 hybridized with O-Cl-O angle of 118 degree.....the bond lengths are both 149 pm .....Cl-O bond has appreciable double bond character due to p(pi)-d(pi) bonding..the molecule is paramagnetic since it has one electron in a p-orbital... now often odd electron molecules dimerizes in order to pair the electron but ClO2 does not ...this is probably due to the reason that odd electron is delocalized as it is involved in p(pi)-d(pi) bonding.. in contrast the odd electron on N in NO2 is localized as nitrogen does not contain a d orbital...
An ionic bond is between a metal and a non-metal. Calcium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal, so yes they form an ionic bond as CaCl2
Electrons are shared in a type of bond known as covalent. This type of bond is also considered a chemical bond.
Oxygen does not form a covalent bond with chloride, but oxygen does form covalent bonds with chlorine in the polyatomic ions perchlorate (ClO4-1), chlorate (ClO3-1), chlorite (ClO2-1), and hypochlorite (ClO-1).
No, KClO2 will dissociate in water: KClO2 → K+ + ClO2- The ClO2- ion will remove protons from the solution (ClO2- + H2O → HClO2 + OH-) and leave hydroxide ions, making the solution basic.
