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
Answer:
F
Explanation:
A carousel can be made to rotate using different sources of energy. One may decide to use electric energy, manual effort, water energy or heat energy as in a candle carousel.
When the candle is lit, heat energy is supplied and warm air rises heating up the air near the carousel eventually causing it to start rotating.
Hence heat from the candle leads to a current of warm air that rises up, causing the carousel to start rotating.
