A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.
Each Be–Cl bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (0) indicate that this molecule has a linear geometry. The bonds in a linear molecule are symmetric, and so their dipoles cancel out.
Each O–H bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (2) indicate that this molecule has a bent geometry. The bonds in a bent molecule are asymmetric, and so their dipoles do not cancel out. In addition, the asymmetric arrangement of the lone pairs on O further contribute to the dipole of this molecule.
An O–O or O=O bond is nonpolar because the two atoms have the same electronegativity. Because there is no overall polarity in O2, the molecule is nonpolar.
Have a wonderful day :) thanks for the points
Answer:
Option E, Half life = 
Explanation:
For a first order reaction, rate constant and half-life is related as:
Where,
= Half life
k = Rate constant
Rate constant given = 
So, the correct option is option E.
The number of valence electrons of an element can be determined by the periodic table group (vertical column) in which the element is categorized
