MCQ
The correct order of $Cl-O$ bond order is
  • A
    $ClO_3^-< ClO_4^- < ClO_2^-< ClO^-$
  • B
    $ClO^-< ClO_4^-< ClO_3^-< ClO_2^-$
  • $ClO^-< ClO_2^-< ClO_3^-< ClO_4^-$
  • D
    $ClO_4^-< ClO_3^-< ClO_2^-< ClO^-$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$ClO^-< ClO_2^-< ClO_3^-< ClO_4^-$
c
$ClO^-$          $B.O.=1.0$

$ClO_2^-$          $B.O.=1.5$

$ClO_3^-$         $B.O.=1.66$

$ClO_4^-$         $B.O=1.75$

                     $OR$

              $Cl{O^ - } < ClO_2^ -  < ClO_3^ -  < ClO_4^ - $

$B.O.$    $1.0$           $1.5$          $1.66$            $1.75$
