Draw the lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion, . include lone pairs.

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, hypochlorite ion.

Chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in hypochlorite ion, = 7 + 6 + 1 = 14

According to electron-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of hypochlorite ion is shown below.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
