What is the number of electrons will chlorine most likely gain/lose

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!

natta225 [31]

The correct answer is option b, that is, triggered by changes in the weather.  

Hibernation refers to a state of lower metabolism and inactivity usually witnessed in endotherms. This condition is featured by a slow heart rate, slow breathing, low metabolic rate, and low body temperature. It assists the majority of the endotherms to thrive in the cold seasons. For example, hibernation of a bear in winters. Therefore, weather change can stimulate hibernation.

A radiator contains 10 quarts of fluid, 30% of which is antifreeze. how much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure anti
amm1812
Let x be the volume of fluid removed and the volume of pure antifreeze that is added. The concentration of antifreeze in the fluid is 0.3, the concentration in pure antifreeze is 1 and that in the final solution is 0.4 The volume of the final solution is 10.
(10 - x)(0.3) + x = 10(0.4)
0.3 + 0.7x = 0.4
x = 1/7 quarts

The volume that should be drained is 1/7 quarts
