Explanation:
An atom consists of electrons, protons, and neutron. The protons and neutrons are present inside the nucleus whereas the electrons are present outside the nucleus.
These electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular motion. Therefore, an electron pair surrounds the central atom of a molecule. It is known that an electron contains a negative charge and like charges repel each other.
Hence, in an atom the force of repulsion between electron pairs pulls the atoms away from each other.
As a result, a molecules atoms are as far away from each other as they can get.
The answer is Na < Cl
Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.
Answer:
All of the above is the answer
The greatest amount of energy released per gram of reactants occurs during a (1) redox reaction, although it should be noted that there are exceptions depending on environment.
