Answered by maham237 @
Answer : The formal charge on central Cl atom is -1.
Explanation :
The given molecule is,
First we have to determine the total number of valence electrons in,
As we know, chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Total number of valence electrons in = 3(7) + 1 = 22 electrons
Electrons used in bonding pair = 4
Electrons used as lone pair = 22 - 4 = 18
Now we have to calculate the formal charge on central Cl atom.
Formal charge on central Cl atom = 7 - (2 × 3) -2 = -1
Therefore, the formal charge on central Cl atom is -1.
The lewis-dot structure of is shown below.
