bond order of clo4-... give using molecular orbital theory with mot structure
Dear Student,
The Bond order of ClO4- can be calculated using resonance structures and not MOT ClO4-, you have 4 resonance structures where the negative formal charge alternates between the 4 oxygen atoms, and the average bond order is 7/4.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about topic.
If you have any more doubts just ask here on the forum and our experts will try to help you out as soon as possible.
