Final answer:

The structural formula for the chlorate ion is ClO3-1 and it has covalent bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structural formula for the chlorate ion, ClO3-1, can be represented as:

O

Cl - O- - O-

O

This formula shows the arrangement of atoms, with the central chlorine atom bonded to three oxygen atoms. Each bond is a single covalent bond, which means the atoms share a pair of electrons. Therefore, the type of bonds in a chlorate ion are covalent bonds.
