2015年10月25日 · Problem 59 part C asks you to draw the Lewis Structure for chlorine nitrate, ClONO2 (the central O atom is attached to the Cl atom and to the N atom of the NO2 group). When I drew the structure, I put a double bond on both oxygens in order to make the formal charge of Nitrogen 0 and Oxygen 0.

2015年9月30日 · What is the total number of bonding valence electrons in chlorine nitrate, ClONO2? (All O atoms bonded to N, Cl bonded to O) I came up with a nitrogen central atom with two double bonded oxygen atoms, and one more single bonded oxygen, which had another single bond with chlorine. This satisfied the number of electrons, and minimized formal charges.

2014年1月30日 · The reservoir species i meantwas CLONO2 (as you said, HCL is one as well but one that doesn't get destroyed in polar stratospheric clouds. It is, however, broken up after a relative short time and rereleases CL if its not rained out).
