Answer:
seven electrons
Explanation:
Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.
The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.
Electronic configuration of chlorine:
Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Abbreviated electronic configuration:
Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵
Properties of chlorine:
1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.
2. its melting point is 172.2 K
3. its boiling point is 238.6 K
4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.
5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.
I am assuming you are talking about Neon. The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the molar mass of the gas. Since neon has a molar mass of 20.18 grams, the gas must have a lower molar mass and must be a gas at 273 Kelvin. There are several elements that fulfill this criteria: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Fluorine.
I believe the correct answer would be option 4. The only statement that is true would be that it is difficult to responsibly dispose of nuclear waste products. This is because nuclear waste products are radioactive and are very harmful to the society and to the environment. It could cause serious damage to every being in contact to it.
