Explain a compound consisting of chlorine and oxygen, Cl2O7, decomposes by the subsequent reaction Cl207=ClO4+ClO3
Depict two Lewis structures for Cl2O7 one with a Cl--Cl bond and one with a Cl--O--Cl arrangement of atoms. Minimize formal charges on the atoms. Comprise formal charges in the drawings.
Now draw a Lewis structure for ClO3. Reduce formal charges on the atoms.
