The statements which correctly describe the Cl-Cl bond is:

It is a sigma bond.

It is formed by overlap of two hybrid orbitals.

Explanation:

The 2 atoms of the chlorine atom are bonded by single bond by sharing of electrons as chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell.

1s22s2p63s23p5 configuration of each atom

A covalent bond is formed between the two chlorine atoms.

The electrons are shared by molecular orbitals by overlapping the orbital as each of the chlorine atom will try to complete its octet. The electrons from p orbitals are shared hence sigma bond.

There is no hybridization in Cl2 it only has only overlapping of electrons in p orbitals.

the element aluminum forms a cation with the charge fill in the blank 2 . the symbol for this ion is , and the name is fill in t

shtirl [24]

The element aluminum forms a cation with the charge of +3. The symbol for this ion is Al³⁺, and the name is aluminum ion. The number of electrons in this ion 10.

Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.

Metals form positive ions by a loss of electrons whereas non-metals form negative ions by gaining electrons.

The aluminum ion is formed when aluminum loses three electrons to form Al³⁺ ion which has 10 electrons.

in conclusion, ions are formed by a gain or loss of electrons.

is the approximate relation celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit a better approximation at higher or lower temperatures?

kirill115 [55]

Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

$C = (F-32) \times \frac{5}{9}$

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

$(50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 10 C$
