Answer:

a. 0, 4, 0

b. 1, 3, 0

Explanation:

a.

In the picture we can see a Lewis structure for ClO₄⁻ in which all the atoms obey the octet rule, that is, they have 8 electrons in the valence shell.

The number of unshared pairs (lone pairs) on the central Cl atom is: 0

The central Cl atom forms 4 single bonds.

The central Cl atom forms 0 double bonds.

For other resonance structures these numbers can change.

b.

In the picture we can see a Lewis structure for NH₃ in which N obeys the octet rule and H atoms complete the valence shell with 2 electrons (duet).

The number of unshared pairs (lone pairs) on the central N atom is: 1

The central N atom forms 3 single bonds.

The central N atom forms 0 double bonds.
