Answer: Two chlorine atoms
Explanation:
Chlorine is a nonmetal belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 17 distributed as (2, 8, 7), so it has 7 valence electrons and needs JUST ONE to complete its outermost shell.
Cl + e- ---> Cl-
On the other hand, barium is a metal belonging to group 2 on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 56 with 2
valence electrons in its outermost shell, and gives off the two electrons to form a stable octet structure.
Ba ----> Ba2+ + 2e-
Thus, barium loses its 2 outermost electrons to form a Ba2+ ion, while TWO chlorine atoms receive them to form 2Cl- resulting in an ionic bond in the compound, BaCl2 (Barium Chloride)
Ba2+ + 2Cl- ---> BaCl2
This is the Lewis structure for NH3.
Answer:
the one that has more power to it
The molecules in ammonia are bonded together by covalent bond; this is the type of bond in which electrons are shared among atoms in the compound. Ammonia is a polar molecule and is made up of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen atom in ammonia is bonded to the three hydrogen atoms via sharing of three electron pairs, one with each atom of hydrogen. For each of the three covalent bond formed, one electron is supplied by nitrogen and one by hydrogen atom.
