Jet001 [13]4 years ago

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Halogens have 7 electrons in their valence shell and requires just one electron to achieve their stable structure. Because of this they have high electron affinity and hence high electronegativity and they are strong oxidizing agents. Oxidation is the loss of electrons . Halogens have a high readiness to take electrons which a metal loses thereby oxidizing it. The other options are wrong as they involve compounds and not the elemental form as stated in the question.

Why do some elements form double and triple bonds during bonding
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more  the reason is the  interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example  A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.
