As chlorine has seven electrons in its outer most shell so to complete its octet it has to gain an electron and when it gain an electron it will become an anion that is negatively charged
so in my opinion and what a conclude is that the option B is correct for the above statement
D is your answer. nearly everything has atoms so it cant be that
Fine particles, ground level ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead
When two oxygen atoms get close to each other, the attractions from the nucleus of both atoms attract the outer electrons.
(BRAINLIEST PLEASE!!!)
Answer:
The correct statements that you must check are:
- The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).
- The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.
Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).
As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will be higher around the O atoms.
Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.
Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
