What happens when chlorine form an ion is that it gains an electron and has an octet in its outer shell ( answer A)
<u><em> Explanation</em></u>
<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is is in atomic number 17 in periodic table.
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5 or[Ne]3S2 3p5 or 2.8.7.
chlorine therefore has 7 valence electron therefore it gain 1 electron to form Cl- ( ion)
Cl- has 8 electron in its outer shell ( it obeys octet rule of eight valence in outer shell.
Answer:
H2
Explanation:
Critical temperature is the temperature above which gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.
Critical temperature directly depends on the force of attraction between atoms, it means stronger the force of higher will be the critical temperature. So, from the given options H2 should have the highest critical temperature because of high attractive forces due to H bonding.
Hence, the correct option is H2.
