The geometry of `ClO_(3)^(-)` ion according to valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory will be :

A

Planar triangle

B

Pyramidal

C

Tetrahedral

D

Square planar

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Central atom Cl forms `3sigma` bonds with a lone pair of electrons. Thus it will show `sp^3` hybridisation. So Trigonal pyramidal structure.
