The electronic configuration of a chlorine ion in BeCl2 compound is
[2.8.8]^- (answer B)
chlorine atom gain on electron form Be to form chloride ions
chlorine atom has a electronic configuration of 2.8.7 and it gains one electron to form chloride ion with 2.8.8 electronic configuration
Covalent bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms. Double and triple covalent bonds occur when four or six electrons are shared between two atoms, and they are indicated in Lewis structures by drawing two or three lines connecting one atom to another.
Ionic bond involves electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
The ions are atoms that have gained 1 or more electrons and atoms that have lost 1 or more electrons.
Answer: The type of bond that requires the give and take of electrons is
A ) ionic bond.
Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.
The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.
