Explanation:

As we know that chloride ion is halogen. So it has seven valence electrons in its valence shell. Hence it gains one electron from others during chemical reaction to be stable. So Chloride ion have a negative charge of -1.

Hope it will help :)❤

Time taken for star to reach Earth = 7.5 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

7.5 light years(distance Earth-star)

Required

Time taken

Solution

Speed of light=v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

1 light years = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m= distance(d)

So time taken for 1 light years :

time(t) = distance(d) : speed(v)

t = 9.461 × 10¹⁵ m : 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = 3.154 x 10⁷ s = 1 years

So for 7.5 light years, time taken = 7.5 years

The cis and trans geometric isomers of a compound have different chemical and physical properties. Draw the structure of the geo

frutty [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Cis- and Trans- isomers are the geometrical isomers which have same chemical formula but different structural formula

According to CIP rule, the groups on the doubly bonded carbon atoms are given priorities based on the the atomic masses of first connected atom.

If the highest priority groups are on the same side, it is known as cis-form and if the highest priority groups are on opposite side, it is known as trans-form.

We are given a chemical compound, which is 2-pentene.

In this the highest priority groups are methyl and ethyl groups.

When the groups are on the same side, it forms cis-form and when the groups are on the opposite side, it forms trans-form

The structure of the geometrical isomers are attached below.
