Referring to the octet rule, atoms attempt to get a noble gas electron configuration, which is eight valence electrons. Sodium has one valence electron, so giving it up would result in the same electron configuration as neon. Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight (an octet)

Answer:

In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​
Elanso [62]

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is​  <u>HCl</u>

Explanation:

  • Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
  • Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
  • When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
  • Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
  • Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
  • Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
  • Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2
