Answer:
Chlorine(Cl)
Explanation:
Because the shielding effect(by the inner electrons) remains the same but the nuclear charge is increasing(due to the increasing number of protons)
So Chlorine has the highest number of protons...so its outter electrons tend to expierence the most nuclear attraction hence making it more harder to remove the first electron
I think “A” is the right answer
The first shell is full at 2 electrons, the next 2 shells are full at 8 electrons, and any shells after that are full at 16 electrons
The answer is (2) 2 pairs. The oxygen atoms combine to get stable structure. So after the combination, each atom needs to have 8 electrons. So when they share 4 electrons can satisfy this requirement. Then there are 2 pairs shared.
