Answer

An arrow going from the bond between the chlorum and a carbon, and the chlorum. And another arrow going from the bond between the hydrogen and a carbon, and the oxygen.

Work Step by Step

1. Identify the bonds that are breaking and the atoms that are losing a pair of electrons - The bond between the chlorum and the carbon. - The bond between the hydrogen and the carbon. - These are the tails of the arrows. 2. Identify the bonds that are being formed and the atoms that are getting a pair of electrons. - The Oxygen is forming a bond with the hydrogen. - The chlorum is getting a pair of electrons. - These are the heads of the arrows. ** When making a bond, put the head of the arrow on the atom that is "receiving" the other atom, in this case, the oxygen. 3. Complete the hydrogen and the chlorum arrows.
