Which of the following symbols represents a chlorine ion with a stable arrangement of eight valence electrons?
1 answer:
A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)
So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)
³⁵Cl⁻¹
B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule
C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable
D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration

Explanation:
4NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) ⇒ 2N₂ (g) + 6H₂ O(1)
Δ
ΔH r =(2ΔH f(N 2 )+6ΔH f (H 2 O(l)))−(4ΔH f (NH 3 (g))+3ΔH f (O 2 (g)))
ΔH rex =[2×0+6×(−286)]−[4×(−46)+3×0]=−1716+186
ΔH rex =−1532kJ/mol
Thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that studies heat and its effects and interactions. Governed by the four main laws, thermodynamics plays a huge role in physics and chemistry, and is also responsible for the law of conservation of energy, a fundamental rule in science.
