Question

To draw a Lewis structure for a polyatomic ion, begin by calculating A, the available electrons, and N, the needed electrons. What is N for CIO3-, the chlorate ion?​

Answer 1

Answer: 26

Correct Answer

Answer 2

N for chlorate ion is one

Step-by-step explanation:

Because N is the number of electrons needed to form octet structure causing a negative charge of one, since it already has 25valence electrons
