Question:
What is the shape of the \( \text{ClO}_2^- \) ion according to VSEPR theory?
What is the shape of the \( \text{ClO}_2^- \) ion according to VSEPR theory?
Show Hint
When dealing with VSEPR theory, always consider the number of bonding pairs and lone pairs to determine the shape of the molecule or ion.

- Linear
- Bent
- Tetrahedral
- Trigonal Planar
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The ClO2- ion has a bent shape according to the VSEPR theory. It has two bonding pairs and one lone pair of electrons on the central chlorine atom, resulting in a bent structure.
