The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
With what neutral molecule is ClO− isoelectronic?Is that molecule a Lewis base?
ClO− isisoelectronic to ClF. Also, both species contain 26 electrons in all as shown.
Total electrons ClO− =17 + 8 + 1 = 26
In ClF = 17 + 9 = 26
ClF acts like a Lewis base as itaccepts electrons from F to form ClF3.
