Solution:
The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:
According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.
But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.
The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.
The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.
Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:
![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B5%7D)
By gaining of one electron, electronic configuration of chloride ion is:
![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B6%7D)
Thus, the equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom is:
Yes hydrogen is a non metal
Answer:
Explanation:
There's no equation attached. What equation is it?
Br is a non-metal. The other answers like Os, Ir, W are not combinations while Sr is a metal. So Br is your answer.
