Recent experimental evidence indicates that \(\mathrm{ClO}\) initially reacts to
form \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\).
a. Predict a reasonable Lewis structure for this molecule. Assume the order of
atom linkage is Cl-O-O-Cl.
b. What effect does this evidence have on understanding the mechanism for the
catalytic destruction of ozone by \(\mathrm{ClO} \cdot\) ?
