With what neutral molecule is ClO^- isoelectronic? Is that molecule a Lewis base?

Ans : ClO^-is isoelectronic to ClF. Also, both species contain 26 electrons in all as shown.

Total electrons ClO^- = 17 + 8 + 1 = 26

In ClF = 17 + 9 = 26

ClF acts like a Lewis base as it accepts electrons from F to form ClF₃.
