Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that elements of same group tend to possess same number of valence electrons. As a result, they show same chemical properties.

Phosphorous (P) and chlorine (Cl) belongs to third period. Valence electrons of phosphorous are 5 and chlorine has 7 valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be) and Calcium (Ca) are group 2 elements and both of them have two valence electrons.

Helium (He) is a noble gas and it does not have any valence electrons.

Oxygen (O) has six valence electrons and carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons.

Therefore, we can conclude that berylium (Be) and calcium (Ca) is the pairs of elements have the same number of valence electrons.

Which of the following molecules would you expect to have a dipole moment of zero?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

CCl2=CCl2

Explanation:

Recall that the individual dipole moments in a symmetrical molecule cancel out each other thereby making the overall molecule to be non polar.

CCl2=CCl2 contain individual polar bonds but the molecule is highly symmetrical thus its dipole cancel out and the molecule has no overall dipole moment, hence CCl2=CCl2 has a dipole moment of zero .
