Anyone in Neyhart's MWF 3:00-3:50 class, please post. I've been working on this thing for 2+ hours and I know it isn't hard, I'm just sick of looking at it and trying to wrap my brain around it. It's simple bond angles/orders and shapes. I'll take my 6/10 if no one responds, but I've called at least 6 of my friends who have done chemistry, and they're all like " I don't remember." Please help!! Thanks...

a)what is the formal charge of the chlorate ion?
b)what is the shape of the chlorate ion?
c)what is the bond angle for O-Cl-O
d)what is the bond order for Cl-O?

Also...
what are the shapes of:
a)N2O
b)HCN
c)OF2

(the choices for each are bent w/109, bent w/ 120, or linear)

and then, which of those 3 molecules have resonance structures...

and then what are the hybridization orbitals for each of the central aoms(N, C, O) in each of those three molecules.
(the choices are sp, sp^2, sp^3)...

Thanks!!

"Structure O--Cl--O, bond angle ~117 degrees"

you can google most of this shit
