Answer : The diatomic molecule of chlorine, Cl₂, is held together by a SINGLE covalent bond.
Covalent Bond :
It is type of chemical bond, which is formed by sharing of electron between atoms . The covalent bond is formed between two non metals . The valance electron are shared to form the bond . The shared electrons are known as BONDING electron pair and the electron pair which do not take part in bonding are known as NON- BONDING electron pair. Example : O₂ , H₂ , H₂O, NH₃ etc .
Formation of covalent bond in Cl₂ :
Chlorine is present in group 17 in p block , It is a non metal .
The electronic configuration of Cl is : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵ .
Since the outer shell is n= 3 , which has 7 electrons in it , hence Cl has 7 valence electrons in it .
From electronic configuration , it can be seen that Cl need 1 electron to complete its octet (3s² 3p⁶ ). Hence when two Cl atoms come close they share one-one electron with each other (as shown in image ) .
Now the octet of both the atom are complete and they are in stable state together .
When both Cl atom share one e⁻ , there is a bond formed between Cl atoms . One bond consists of 2⁻ . Hence in Cl₂ SINGLE covalent bond present .
Cl + Cl -> Cl₂
Answer:
covalent bonds
Explanation:
Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.
(if it is still confusing i have another way of explaining so jus let me know :)
Answer: a) anode
b) positive
c) cathode
d) anode to cathode
Explanation:
Galvanic cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.
In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode. Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.
Due to loss of electrons at anode, positive charge in concentrated in anode and negative charge is concentrated in cathode. To balance these charges , positive ions or cations from salt bridge move towards cathode and negative ions or anions from salt bridge move towards anode.
The balanced two-half reactions will be:
Oxidation half reaction :
Reduction half reaction :
Thus the overall reaction will be,
