The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.
The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.
Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:
![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B5%7D)
By gaining of one electron, electronic configuration of chloride ion is:
![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B6%7D)
Thus, the equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom is:
The correct option is C.
A Lewis dot diagram is a representation of the valence electron of an atom, which uses dot around the symbol of the atom. Chlorine has seven electrons in its outermost shell, these seven electrons are arranged in form of dot around the atom of chlorine. If you count the number of dot given in option C, you will notice that they are seven.
Answer:
compound
Explanation:
because now there are one together
Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.
Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.
mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g
molar mass of iron = 55.8 g
mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g
molar mass of oxygen = 32 g
number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron
number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1
number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5
the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1
Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.
