Since the Chlorine gained an electron, it became a chlorine ion with +1 charge. Therefore, it is Cl⁺¹.

Answer:

The charge would be -1.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons an atom has. Chlorine is electrically neutral, so it has the same  number of positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons). Therefore, chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons. When it gains 1 electron, it will have an excess of one negative charge, so the charge of the ion will be -1, forming Cl⁻.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

6 different frequencies

Explanation:

From energy level 1 to 2 is one frequency, from energy level 1 to 3 is one frequency and From energy level 1 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 3 frequencies for transition from energy level 1.

From energy level 2 to 3 is one frequency and from energy level 2 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 2 frequencies for transition from energy level 2.

From energy level 3 to 4 is one frequency.

So we have a total of 3 + 2 + 1 different frequencies = 6 different frequencies.

Note that the reverse process for each step produces the same frequency as the step in consideration.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Mario uses a hot plate to heat a beaker of 50mL of water. He used a thermometer to measure the

temperature of the water. The water in the beaker began to boil when it reached the temperature of

100'C. If Mario completes the same experiment with 25mL of water, what would happen to the boiling

point?

a) The water will not reach a boil.

b) The boiling point of water will increase.

c) The boiling point of water will decrease.

d) The boiling point of water will stay the same.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: product

Explanation:

Each substance written to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation is referred to as a product.

When writing a chemical equation, the substance that's written to the left of arrow in the equation is the reactants.

On the other hand which is the right side is the product.

Explain why, when the imidazole ring of histidine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the pro
eduard
The important thing to note is the reason why electron react is due to the instability of the electrons. All elements wants to aim the electron configuration of the noble gases. This is the most stable form in which each of the orbitals are sufficiently filled. When it comes to bonding, the order of reactivity is: alkynes > alkenes > alkanes. Alkynes are compounds with triple bonds, alkenes with double bonds and alkanes with single bonds. The single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. This is because they have reached stability, so it is quite difficult to react this with reducing or oxidizing agents. Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. They readily react with reducing and oxidizing agents so as to become saturated, as well. The underlying principle for this is that single bonds contain sigma bonds which is the head-on overlapping of electrons. These is the strongest type of covalent bond. Double and triple bonds contain pi bonds which is the side overlapping of electrons orbitals. Hence, these electrons would be easily separated making it more reactive especially during protonation.
