Answer:
It is a sigma bond
Explanation:
Chlorine has an electronic configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. This means that the outermost n=3 level has seven electrons. Hence one more electron is needed for the octet of outermost electrons to be achieved. As a result of this, chlorine enters into covalent bonding with another chlorine atom to form Cl2.
The outermost 3p electrons of the two chlorine atoms are now shared to form a p-p sigma bond (a single bond). Hence, the Cl2 molecule contains a sigma(single) bond between two chlorine atoms. Hence the answer written above.
Each orbital must contain a single electron before any orbital contains two electrons.
Answer:
The electrons that whiz about outside the nucleus have a negative charge. They are held in the atom by the positive charge of the nucleus. ... An atom that gains or loses an electron becomes an ion. If it gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion.

Where is the following statements??
This is the balanced eq
N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
first you need to find mole of N2 by using
mol = mass ÷ molar mass.
mol N2= 20g ÷ (14.01×2)g/mol
=0.7138mol
then look at the coefficient between H2 and NH3.
it is N2:NH3
1:2
0.7138:0.7138×2
0.7138:1.4276 moles
moles of NH3 = 1.4276 moles
