Question 34

With what neutral molecule is ClO- isoelectronic? Is that molecule a Lewis base?

Answer

ClO- is isoelectronic 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 it accepts electrons from F to form ClF3.
