The two electrons that share an orbital repel each other.
All electrons bear a negative charge. They are held in their orbits by the attractive force of charged protons. The farther away an orbital is to the atomic nucleus the easier it is to expunge an electron from this distant orbital shell.
Explanation:
Because electrons have the same negative charge, they repel each other especially when they occupy the same orbital shell in an atom. To reduce this repulsion, each of the electrons in the orbital shell (remember electrons occupy orbital shells of atoms in 2s) assumes an opposite quantum (M<em>s</em>) spin; one with – ½ while the other + ½ .

Answer:
Hygroscopic
Explanation:
An hygroscopic substance is one that absorbs moisture from the atmosphere and becomes wet. Their ability to remove water from air is less than that of deliquescent substances. Most of the solid hygroscopic substances forms pasty substances and not solutions like the deliquescent compounds.
Examples are sodium trioxonitrate(v), copper(ii) oxide e.t.c
Efflorescence compounds gives off their water of crystallization to the atmosphere.
Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.
Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.
As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.
The correct answer is B. Br
