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 : The time passed in years is
Explanation :
Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3
a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Therefore, the time passed in years is
