A) The magnitude of the charges on CI and O atoms are : +0.16e and -0.16e  respectively

B)  Atom O will have a partial negative charge on the CIO molecule

C) Attached below

D) The formal charge on Cl is +3

A) Determine magnitude of charges on CI and O

Magnitude of charge = dipole moment / bond length --- ( 1 )

where : dipole moment = 1.24 D * [tex](\frac{3.34*10^{-30} C m}{1 D} )[/tex]

             Bond length = 1.60 A° * [tex]( \frac{10^{-10} m}{A^{0} } )[/tex]  

∴  Magnitude of charge = 2.56 * 10⁻²⁰ C

Note : Charge of an electron = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore the magnitude of charges on CI and O atoms is

2.56 * 10⁻²⁰ C * [tex]\frac{1e}{1.602*10^{-19} }[/tex]  = 0.16 e

Therefore

charge on CI = +0.16e

charge on O = -0.16e

Hence we can conclude that A) The magnitude of the charges on CI and O atoms are : +0.16e and -0.16e  respectively and Atom O will have a partial negative charge on the CIO molecule also The formal charge on Cl is +3
