<span>There are only four elements that were named after actual scientists.
Curium [Cm] is named after Marie and Pierre Curie. The Curies worked extensively on radioactive elements so another scientist appropriately named this radioactive element after them.
Einsteinium [Es] is named after the famed physicist Albert Einstein.
Lawrencium [Lr or Lw] is named after Ernest Lawrence, who invented a machine to detect radioactivity. Lawrencium is a radioactive element. Mendelevium [Md] is named after Dimitri Mendeleef who created the modern day periodic table.</span>
electron dot structure
Explanation:
Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.
- The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
- The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
- The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
- Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
- It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
- The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
- It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.
