I would imagine it has a tetrahedral geometry since the Cl atoms are quite large in size, thus electron replusion is high, so adopts a geometry that gives the largest angle between the C-Cl bonds.
isomer
resonance. Resonance occurs when multiple Lewis structures can be drawn for a molecule by repositioning electrons while keeping the same atomic framework.
there are three resonating structures of H2CO3 OH+-------C------O+-------oh+
The electron dot resonance structures for ozone show that the double bond in ozone can delocalize across different positions, leading to resonance hybrid structures. This delocalization results in a more stable molecule overall. The resonance structures help describe ozone's bonding as a combination of single and double bonds that are not fixed in one position but rather spread out over the molecule.

NO
Usually two way arrows are placed between a molecule's resonance structures to indicate resonance
Equivalent resonance structures have the same arrangement of atoms and electrons, while nonequivalent resonance structures have different arrangements of atoms and electrons.

The nitrate ion, NO3^-, has 3 resonance structures.
Yes, water (H2O) does have resonance structures. However, the resonance structures of water are not commonly depicted because the resonance phenomenon is not as significant in its molecular structure as it is in other compounds like benzene.
The term is called the "resonance hybrid." It represents the actual electronic structure of a molecule that is a blend of all the possible resonance structures.
Nitric acid (HNO3) has 3 resonance structures. The delocalization of electrons between the nitrogen and oxygen atoms allows for the formation of different resonance structures.
Yes, there are resonance structures in HCN. The triple bond in the molecule can resonate between the carbon and nitrogen atoms, leading to electron delocalization and the formation of multiple resonance structures.

To describe the structure of HNO3, two resonance structures are needed.
yes
