1. E. None of the Above
2. D. x + y
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.
So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as .
As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.
Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.
Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.
Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.
Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.
Answer is: d) Hg.
Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. <span> Mercury is the only metallic element that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.
</span>Absolute viscosity of mercury is 0,0015 Pa·s.
The viscosity<span> of a </span>fluid<span> is a measure of its </span>resistance<span> to gradual deformation by </span>shear stress<span> or </span><span>tensile stress</span>
CaO ( calcium oxide) is a basic oxide.
