Iron and chlorine
For every iron there are 3 chlorine.
Answer:
The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.
Explanation:
Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.
The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.
But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.
So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
There are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.
Chlorine is the second member of the halogen group which are form of family of elements that resemble one another very closely.
The electronic configuration of chlorine shows the arrangement of chlorine electrons within it's atom.
At the outer most shell of the atom is seven electrons, therefore requires only one electron each to attain the octet arrangement.
The overlapping of the orbitals indicates the chemical bond formed by sharing of electrons between atoms called covalent bonding.
To complete it's outer most shell, it will need to share electron with another chlorine atom.
Therefore, there are 2 electrons in the overlapping region.
