A step-by-step explanation of how to draw the ClO2 - Lewis Dot Structure (Chlorite ion).
For the ClO2 - structure use the periodic table to find the total number of valence electrons for the ClO2 - molecule. Once we know how many valence electrons there are in ClO2 - we can distribute them around the central atom with the goal of filling the outer shells of each atom.
In the Lewis structure of ClO2 - structure there are a total of 20 valence electrons. ClO2 - is also called Chlorite ion.
In the Lewis structure for ClO2- we put Chlorine (Cl) at the center of the structure since it is the least electronegative. There are total of 20 valence electrons for the ClO2- Lewis structure. Remember that the negative sign counts as one valence electron.
To show that the ClO2- Lewis structure is an ion with a -1 change we need to put brackets around the structure and put a negative side on the outside of the brackets.
Note that ClO2 - can have an Expanded Octet and have more than eight valence electrons. Because of this there may be several possible Lewis Structures. To arrive at the most favorable Lewis Structure we need to consider formal charges. See how to calculate formal charges: Formal Charges: Calculating Formal Ch...
---- Steps to Write Lewis Structure for compounds like ClO2 - -----
1. Find the total valence electrons for the ClO2 - molecule.
2. Put the least electronegative atom in the center. Note: Hydrogen (H) always goes outside.
3. Put two electrons between atoms to form a chemical bond.
4. Complete octets on outside atoms.
5. If central atom does not have an octet, move electrons from outer atoms to form double or triple bonds.

Lewis Structures are important to learn because they help us understand how atoms and electrons are arranged in a molecule, such as Chlorite ion. This can help us determine the molecular geometry, how the molecule might react with other molecules, and some of the physical properties of the molecule (like boiling point and surface tension).
