Answer:
Check the electronic configuration of elements.
Explanation:
▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.
For example,
Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1
Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.
▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.
For example,
Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1
Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1
☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.
☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.
☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.
Answer:
i need to know the question then i can help :)
Explanation:
The radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom because the effective nuclear charge decreases, therefore the inward force decreases, increasing the ionic radius.
