Lewis structures are also known as Lewis dot diagrams or Lewis dot formulas. This diagrams depict the bonding between atoms of a molecule and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. A Lewis structure can be drawn for both covalently bonded molecule and coordination compounds.

The lewis structure of the hypochlorite ion is attached below. From the lewis structure, it can be seen that, in hypochlorite ion Cl and O shares one pair of electrons. Hence, bond order of hypochlorite ion is one.

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, hypochlorite ion.

Chlorine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in hypochlorite ion, [tex]ClO^-[/tex] = 7 + 6 + 1 = 14

According to electron-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of hypochlorite ion is shown below.
