<span>Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, but in the diagram, there are 2 chlorine atom making there a total of 14 valence electrons. There are 2 valence electrons in between the two atoms. There are 6 valence electrons around the outside of each individual chlorine atom. The electrons are arranged in groups of two around the outside of each atom.</span>
The crust of the Earth is thickest beneath the continents.
when Cl2 is dissolved in water it generates ClO which is a good oxidizing agent since it gives out atomic oxygen. but dissolution of F2 cannot generate atomic oxygen since F is more electronegative than O
