1.	All chlorine - oxygen distances in ClO4- is 144pm. Explain why
Answer» The chlorine to oxygen bond distance in\xa0ClO4\u200b−\xa0is\xa01.44A∘. From this, we can conclude that there must be a considerable double bond character in the bonds.AnsFrom its resonating structure, it can be seen that it have\xa0considerable double bond character in the bonds.Hence, the statement is correct.
