Understanding the Options
- A. Cl₂O⁻ - This formula indicates two chlorine atoms, which is incorrect for hypochlorite.
- B. ClO⁻ - This is the correct formula for the hypochlorite ion.
- C. ClO²⁻ - This formula suggests a doubly charged ion, which does not apply here.
- D. Cl₂O²⁻ - This also indicates two chlorine atoms and a different charge, making it incorrect.
Summary
The correct answer is B. ClO⁻, which accurately represents the hypochlorite ion.
