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:

When cinnamic acid react with bromine ,addition reaction rapidly occur on alkene functional group to form dibromo product

Explanation:

Phenyl ring is an aromatic hydrocarbon ,when aromatic hydrocarbons react with Cl2,Br2 or KMnO4 no reaction occur ,where as unsaturated hydrocarbon  like alkene react .Aromatic hydrocarbon with these reagents undenr different conditions undergoes subtituition reaction.They react with bromine in presence of lewis acid catalyst ferric bromide.

How would increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world?
IgorC [24]
Chlorofluorocarbons are a class of organic compounds that were used as propellants in the late 20th century. The problem with CFC's is that they attack the ozone layer, breaking it down. The weakened ozone layer is not able to stop UV light from reaching the earth, so the amount of UV light reaching the earth increases. This results in increased temperatures, and the death of vegetation.

Therefore, the answer is B.

What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun’s core?
sergey [27]

Answer:

Helium is created from hydrogen in the sun's core.

Four hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse to produce

  • one helium-4 nucleus, two neutrons,
  • two positrons, and
  • two electron neutrinos.

Explanation:

Step One:

{\rm ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H\to ^2_1 H + e^{+}} + v_e.

Two hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse. One proton will convert to a neutron. The products will be

  • one hydrogen-2 nucleus,
  • one positron, and
  • one electron neutrino.

Step Two:

\rm ^1_1 H +^2_1 H \to ^3_2 He.

There are plenty of hydrogen-1 nuclei available in the core of the sun. The hydrogen-2 nucleus from step one will fuse with a hydrogen-1 nucleus. The product is

  • one helium-3 nucleus.

Step Three

\rm ^3_2 He + ^3_2 He \to ^4_2 He + ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H.

Two helium-3 nuclei from step two react with each other. The products are:

  • one helium-4 nucleus, and
  • two hydrogen-1 nuclei.

The overall reaction will be:

{\rm 6\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; ^1_1 H+2\; e^{+}}+v_\text{e}.

{\rm 4\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; e^{+}} + v_\text{e}

In other words, hydrogen nuclei in the core of the sun fuse together to form helium.

To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong
julsineya [31]
<span>Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron. If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>
