Hello Shortangle,

A point of correction...

You said

[quote Shortangle2]

"Please notice that the moleculer data is the same. The difference bewteen the two molecules is that the chlorites, in whatever form, are molecules called ClO2, the Chlorine Dioxide molecules are ClO2- because they are negatively charged. Other than that, there's little difference."

[end quote]

ClO2 is actually chlorine dioxide, and has a neutral charge.

ClO2 - is the chlorite ion, and has the negative charge.

If we continue on, we have:

ClO4 - is the perchlorate ion, and has a negative charge.

ClO3 - is the chlorate ion, and has a negative charge.

HClO2 is chlorous acid, but it is also referred to by some as ClHO2.

HClO is hypochlorous acid.

OCl - is the hypochlorite ion, and has a negative charge.

Cl2 is chlorine.

and Cl - is the chloride ion, and has a negative charge.

While these are all in the same family, there are actually a lot of differences in their behavior.
