Choose the BEST lewis structure for OCl₂

Solutions

Expert Solution

Option (D) is the correct structure for OCl2, because the 20 Valence of the Molecule are distributed such that no octet rule is violated . Moreover option (a) is not correct because Cl since being the halogen rarely forms a double bond .
Hence option D is correct
