Non polar covalent bond. The Cl's electronegativity is the same since it's the same atom. Therefore, they will be nonpolar
Answer: The mass of electrons is mostly ignored because electrons are extremely small compared to neutrons and protons.
Explanation: A proton is about 1,836 times the size of an electron.
On the periodic table, the atomic number for each element can be found. This number is found by measuring the weight of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of the element in grams. Electrons aren't ignored when finding exact math, but for the sake of simplification high school teachers will generally have you only count the number of protons and neutrons when calculating the mass of atoms.
Electrons are valence and free moving so they take place in charge transfer
Its period 5 from 5s25p6, with Xenon(54) as the noble gas. 2+6 = 8 electrons
54+8 = 62, or Sm.
