Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.

a) yes Pb is more reactive that Ag, Pb before Ag
b) no, Cu after H
c) yes, Cl2 is more active than I2
4) yes, Mg is more active
13.7 (as I think)
Al ³⁺ more active than Zn²⁺, Mn can react with Zn²⁺, but not with Al ³⁺ , because Mn after Al but before Zn
Answer:
Non metals join to form covalent bond.
Explanation:
Covalent bond:
It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.
The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.
Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.
In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.
Answer:
Option 4 with o-h in the most polar bond, since the two atoms in the bond have the greatest difference in electronegativity. This is assuming there are no other factors in other atoms bound to either of the elements in the bond.
