The ions `ClO^(-), ClO_(2)^(-), ClO_(3)^(-)` and `ClO_(4)^(-)` are stabilized by strongA. `ppi-ppi` bondingB. `dpi-ppi` bondingC. `ppi-dpi` bondingD. `spi-ppi` bonding

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
Chlorine forms a series of ocyacids and oxyanions for each of its positive odd oxidation states forms `+1,` to `+7`. The shpes fo the ions (and releated acids are based on a tetrahedral arrangment (`sp^(2)` hydridization ) around the `CI` atom.
The short chlorine -oxygen bonds in each of the ions indicate that multiple bonding must be present possibily involving some contribution to the `pi` bonding by the full `p` orbitals on the oxygen atoms and empty `d` orbials on the `CI` atoms .
