Answer:
!atoms in the nitrogen family.. have 5 valence electrons. They tend to share electrons when they bond. Other elements in this family are phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of lithium is 3 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 1. Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 8, 7.
Thus, we can see that lithium has 1 extra electron and chlorine has deficiency of 1 electron. Therefore, in order to gain stability lithium will transfer its 1 extra electron to chlorine atom.
Thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.
Explanation:
An atom consists of two regions. The first is the tiny atomic nucleus, which is in the center of the atom and contains positively charged particles called protons and neutral, uncharged, particles called neutrons. ... Most atoms contain all three of these types of subatomic particles—protons, electrons, and neutrons.
