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:
2.08×10^24 atoms
Explanation:
set up a mole to atom ratio:
3.47moles 1 mole
------------------ = ----------------------------
x atoms 6.02×10^23 atoms
cross multiply:
3.47 mole × 6.02 × 10^23 = 2.08×10^24 atoms
To calculate the atomic mass<span> of a single </span>atom<span>, add up the </span>mass<span> of protons and neutrons.
So, your answer would be A) add the number of protons and neutrons</span>
Answer:
(C) Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom.
Explanation:
In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons are arranged in energy levels. The electrons in the lowest energy levels are nearest to the nucleus. An electron may move from a lower to a higher energy level by absorbing energy that is equal to the difference between the energies of the higher and lower energy level.
The potential energy of all electrons inside the atom have negative values and an electron which is infinitely far from the nucleus has an electrostatic potential energy of zero.
Energy is absorbed when an electron is removed from the atom (ionization). Hence the process is highly endothermic. Therefore it is false to say that "Energy is released when the electron is ejected from the atom."

<span>In a laboratory experiment, John uses a mesh to separate soil particles from water. Which technique of separation is he using?
The technique that John is using is the filtration technique. Filtration is a technique to separate the solid which is insoluble from the liquid. For instance: Sand and water, sand is insoluble, thus it stays in the filter paper, while the water proceeds through the filter paper.
Hope I helped :D</span>
