The molecule ClO 2 has an odd number of valence electrons, and therefore, it is a paramagnetic radical. It is an unusual "example of an odd-electron molecule stable toward dimerization" (nitric oxide being another example). [6] A unit cell of the orthorhombic ClO 2 crystal shown in an arbitrary direction.
English: Chlorine_dioxide.png new as SVG and with angle/bondlength. Note: This is more or less the structure given by Pauling on page 264 of his General Chemisty, although he puts three dots between the left-hand oxygen and the chlorine, as well as a line segment, instead of two line segments and a dot on the chlorine as we have here.
[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

2, [3] and has a bent structure with a bond angle close to 120°. The Cl–O bond is of bond order 1.5, with its Lewis structure consisting of a double bond and a dative bond which does not utilize d-orbitals. [4] The red color of ClO + 2 is caused by electron transitions into an antibonding orbital. The analogous transition in SO
The debate over the nature and classification of hypervalent molecules goes back to Gilbert N. Lewis and Irving Langmuir and the debate over the nature of the chemical bond in the 1920s. [3] Lewis maintained the importance of the two-center two-electron (2c-2e) bond in describing hypervalence, thus using expanded octets to account for such ...
Dichlorine monoxide is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula Cl 2 O. It was first synthesised in 1834 by Antoine Jérôme Balard, [2] who along with Gay-Lussac also determined its composition. In older literature it is often referred to as chlorine monoxide, [3] which can be a source of confusion as that name now refers to the ClO ...
Chlorous acid is an inorganic compound with the formula HClO 2.It is a weak acid.Chlorine has oxidation state +3 in this acid. The pure substance is unstable, disproportionating to hypochlorous acid (Cl oxidation state +1) and chloric acid (Cl oxidation state +5):
