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.

How can Lewis theory be used to determine the formula or ionic compounds?

"To use Lewis theory to determine the formula of an ionic compound, determine the number of valence electrons lost by the metal to form an octet, and the number of electrons gained by the nonmetal to form an octet." Refer the link below for further reading.

Yes, it does.


Can polyatomic ion form Lewis structures?

Yes, polyatomic ions can form Lewis structures. A Lewis structure shows how valence electrons are arranged in a molecule or ion by representing bonds and lone pairs of electrons. The same rules for determining octet/duet stability apply to polyatomic ions as to neutral molecules.

What is the formula for the tin ions?

The formula for tin ions depends on their charge. Tin can exist as Sn2+ ions (called stannous ions) or Sn4+ ions (called stannic ions). The formula for stannous ions is Sn2+ and for stannic ions is Sn4+.


Is KClO2 neutral?

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.
