Seven valence electrons are present in the 'Lewis structure' for the given chlorine atom

A Chlorine atom has total 17 electrons in total. In the 'first orbit' 2 electrons, 10 electrons in the 'second orbit' and finally 7 electrons in the last orbit. As Chlorine is a Group 7 element, chlorine will have 7 'valence electrons' in its outermost orbit. While drawing the 'Lewis structure' of Chlorine we shall put seven dots that is the electrons or valance electrons around the symbol of Chlorine (CI).

<h3>What are Valence electrons ?</h3>

The electrons in an atom's outermost shell, or energy level, are called valence electrons. For instance, the valence electrons of oxygen are six, with two in the 2s subshell and four in the 2p subshell.

  • An atom's outer shell electrons, known as valence electrons, can take role in the creation of chemical bonds. When two atoms establish a single covalent bond, normally both atoms contribute one valence electron to create a shared pair. The ground state of an atom is its state with the least amount of energy.

If the temperature of a gas decreases at constant volume which of the following would occur
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

I need the things after "which of the following would occur".

Explanation:

If you were to maintain a constant volume while decreasing pressure, the temperature would also have to decrease. This is Boyle's law.

What is the partial pressure of argon, par, in the flask? express your answer to three significant figures and include the appro
monitta
Given which are missing in your question:
the flask is filled with 1.45 g of argon at 25 C° 
So according to this formula (Partial pressure):
PV= nRT
first, we need n, and we can get by substitution by:
n =  1.45/mass weight of argon
   = 1.45 / 39.948 = 0.0363 mol of Ar
we have R constant = 0.0821
and T in kelvin = 25 + 273 = 298
and V = 1 L
∴ P * 1 = 0.0363* 0.0821 * 298 = 0.888 atm

Q 16.1: Select the first step in the Wittig reaction. A : The alkyltriphenylphosphonium halide is deprotonated by a base to make
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The phosphorus ylide reacts with the aldehyde or ketone to make an oxaphosphetane.

Explanation:

The Wittig reaction is a reaction that occurs between a phosphorus ylide and an aldehyde or ketone. The final products are an alkene and triphenyl phosphine oxide.

The first step in the reaction is the attack of the phosphorus ylide on the aldehyde or ketone. This is followed by attack of oxygen on phosphorus to form a [2+2] cycloaddition product (oxaphosphetane)  which  decomposes to form the alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide.
