4 0

The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.

What is the volume of 2.10 moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) at 273 K and 1.00 atm?
Rasek [7]
Ideal gas law:
PV=nRT    ⇒  V=nRT / P
P=pressure=1 atm
V=volume
n=number moles=2.10 moles
R=0,082 Atm l/ºK mol
T=temperature=273 K

V=(2.10 moles*0.082 (atm l)/º(K mol)*237ºK)  / 1 atm=47.01 litres
