Central "carbon" atom
2 oxygen atoms
held together by "covalent" bonds
has a "1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1 2pz0" electron
geometry
carbon atom is "sp" hybridized
Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell
Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.
The question is asking to state the element would most likely have chemical properties similar to that of fluorine and base on my research and further investigation, I would say that it would be Bromine. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications
