Question

The number of chlorine to oxygen bonds in $C{l}_2{O}_7$ is

• A. 7
• B. 8
• C. 6
• D. 10

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$C{l}_2{O}_7$ is $O=\underset{\stackrel{||}{O}}{\stackrel{\underset{||}{O}}{C}l}-O-\underset{\stackrel{||}{O}}{\stackrel{\underset{||}{O}}{C}l}=O$
Hence it has $8$-chlorine to oxygen links.
