Now, let's examine the conjugate base of our chloric acid. Well, this guy is resonant stabilized by three states, in fact, four states. I'll show you the last one in a bit. So this negative atom can be distributed to this oxygen and then this oxygen. And that happens when this guy forms a double bond, displacing this bond, forming a negative bond here. And then this lone pair forms a double bond with this bond, displacing this lone pair, creating a negative charge here.
