A stable arrangement of eight valence electrons : ³⁵Cl⁻¹
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Chlorine is a halogen gas, located in group 17, p block
Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and an atomic mass of 35
Electron configuration: [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
If we look at the electron configuration, then Cl will bind 1 more electron so that the configuration is stable like Argon (atomic number 18)
So by binding this one electron, chlorine forms negative ions (anions)
³⁵Cl⁻¹
B. Cl⁻² binds 2 electrons, exceeding the octet rule
C. Cl⁺¹, releases 1 electron, remains unstable
D. Cl, the neutral form of Cl, is still unstable with a 7-electron valence configuration
Answer:
D. 4.75 m/s west
Explanation:
You can immediately get the answer once you know the formula for<em> velocity.</em>
- The formula for velocity is: Velocity (V) =
The distance is 95 meters while the time is 20 seconds. All you have to do is to divide <u>95 meters by 20 seconds</u>.
Let's solve:
- V =
- V =
- V = 4.75 meters per second
Since Brenda is going west with her her skateboard, then you have to add <em>west </em>as her direction.
Brenda's velocity is 4.75 m/s west.
