An atom is the smallest unit of matter that has the properties of an element. It is composed of a dense core called the nucleus and a series of outer shells occupied by orbiting electrons. The nucleus, composed of protons and neutrons, is at the center of an atom.
Explanation:
Answer:
Argon has 8 valence electrons and no extras, it does not require a bond in order to fill its shells, its satisfied by itself.
Chlorine is missing 1 Electron, if it connects with another Chlorine it will be satisfying both of their needs with a Covalent bond.
Explanation:
Atomic mass Cu = 63.546 a.m.u
63.546 g ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
22 g --------------------- ??
22 x (6.02x10²³ ) / 63.546 => 2.08x10²³ atoms

Answer:
SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂
Explanation:
(A) SeO₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 1 lone pair. The molecule is bent shaped which has an angle of 120°.
(B) SeCl₆
The central atom has 6 bond pairs and 0 lone pair. The geometry is octahedral in which the equatorial bonds has an angle of 90° and axial bond has an angle of 90°.
(C) SeF₂
The central atom has 2 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs. The geometry is bent shape which has an angle of approximately 105.5°.
The order is:
<u>SeCl₆ < SeF₂ < SeO₂</u>
