Chemistry

Gain 1.

This is because of Chlorine's placement on the periodic table. Chlorine is a Halogen, thus being located in group 17 or 7A. This means it is one of the closest elements to being a Noble Gas or group 18/8A.

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and in order for it to become a Noble Gas, it needs 8. Cl- is typically the symbol used to represent this as Chlorine needs to gain an electrons instead of lose; once Chlorine gains the electron, it will be stable.

This also means that Chlorine has a high ionization energy or, in simpler terms, it would be difficult to remove an electron from Chlorine.

Hope this helps!

do you think that religion and science are in conflict ,or that people can both have both without any problems
natka813 [3]
Religion and science are fundamentally incompatible. They disagree profoundly on how we obtain knowledge of the world. Science is based observation and reasoning from observation. Religion assumes that human beings can access a deeper level of information that is not available by either observation or reason.
