Question

Using Lewis concept, determine the decreasing order of basic strengths of $ClO_{4 ^-} , ClO_{3^-} \,\,and \,\,ClO_{2 ^-}$

A

$ClO_{3^ -}>ClO_{2 ^-}>ClO_{4 ^-}$

B

$ClO_{4^ -}>ClO_{3 ^-}>ClO_{2 ^-}$

C

$ClO_{2^ -}>ClO_{3 ^-}>ClO_{4 ^-}$

D

$ClO_{4^ -}>ClO_{2 ^-}>ClO_{3 ^-}$

Answer

$ClO_{2^ -}>ClO_{3 ^-}>ClO_{4 ^-}$

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (C): $ClO_{2^ -}>ClO_{3 ^-}>ClO_{4 ^-}$
