Q. Chlorine reacts with hot and concentrated NaOH and produces compounds (X) and (Y). Compound (X) gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution. The average bond order between $Cl$ and $O$ atoms in (Y) is ______ .

1.67

0.835

2.67

$3 C l_{2} + 6 N a O H \to 5 N a Cl + N a Cl O_{3} + 3 H_{2} O$
$N a Cl + A g N O_{3} \to Whi t e ppt A g Cl + N a N O_{3}$
Y is $N a Cl O_{3} \to Cl O_{3}^{-}$

Bond order $= 1 + \frac{π}{σ}$
$= 1 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} = 1.67$
