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.

Answer:

Copy and paste "Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f.  Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.  Violet light has a wavelength of ~400 nm, and a frequency of ~7.5*1014 Hz.  Red light has a wavelength of ~700 nm, and a frequency of ~4.3*1014 Hz." into google, and the correct website pops up as the first result.

Explanation:

I tried to link the website that I use to convert wavelengths and frequencies into types of light, but it deleted my answer, so I guess we're doing it this way. As for converting the wavelength to energy, the same principles apply as before:

Frequency: ν       Wavelength: λ       Energy: E       Speed of light: C (3.00e8)       Planck's Constant: h (6.626e-34)

ν -> λ    λ = C/ν

λ -> ν    ν = C/λ

For either of these equations, wavelength must be converted to meters or nanometers, depending on the equation.

For ν -> λ, after doing the equation, convert the wavelength into nanometers by dividing by 1e-9.

For converting λ -> ν, convert the wavelength into meters by multiplying by 1e-9.

For energy: E = hν = hc/λ

Almost 30 years after the clean water act was passed in the US, the percentage of surface water considered safe for fishing and swimming had increased from 36% to 60% which is almost twice the original value. Certain programs and policies were implemented as part of the act.
