Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which have deficiency of electrons. Therefore, in order to gain stability non-metals tend to gain electrons so that their octet gets completely filled.

For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electrons are distributed as 2, 8, 7. Thus, in order to completely filled the shell chlorine will gain one electron from an electron rich atom or metal.

Hence, we can conclude that in order for a nonmetal to obey the octet rule, it gains electrons.

Draw the structure for cis-2,3-dibromo-2-hexene.
padilas [110]
First, draw the 2-hexene. Th is is a molecule of six carbons with a double bond in the second carbon:

      CH3 - CH = CH2 - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Secong, put one Br on the second carbon and one Br on the third carbon:

    CH3 - CBr = CBr - CH2 - CH2 - CH3

Third, cis means that the two Br are placed in opposed positions, this is drawn with one Br up and the other down. So, you need to represent the position of the Br in the space:


      H   Br          H     H      H
       |    |             |       |       |
H - C - C = C -  C  -  C  -  C - H
       |           |      |       |       |
      H          Br   H     H      H

The important fact to realize is that the two Br are in opposed sides of the molecule.
