Q. With respect to hypochlorite, chlorate and perchlorate ions, choose the correct statement(s).

The hypochlorite ion is the strongest conjugate base

The molecular shape of only chlorate ion is influenced by the lone pair of electrons of $Cl$

The hypochlorite and chlorate ions disproportionate to give rise to identical set of ions

The hypochlorite ion oxidizes the sulfite ion

$most acidic H Cl O_{4} > H Cl O_{3} > least acidic H OCl$
Conjugate base
$least basic Cl O_{4}^{-} < Cl O_{3}^{-} < most basic OC l^{-}$
$C I O^{-} + S O_{3}^{- 2} \to C r^{-} + S O_{4}^{- 2}$
$3 Cl O^{-} \to 2 C r^{-} + Cl O_{3}^{-}$
$4 Cl O_{3}^{-} \to C l^{-} + 3 Cl O_{4}^{-}$
