How is the electron structure similar in fluorine and chlorine?
Electronic configuration: - Chlorine: [Ne]3s23p5 - Fluorine: 1s22s22p5
What happen when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
chlorine is a group seven element with outmost energy level lacking only one electron, thus is not stable. when it gains this electron, it gets an octet electron structure(8 e in the vallency shell) this makes it very stable in the enviroment; the reason why chlorine molecule exists due to its stable atoms but chlorine atom does not exist in nature
Sodium and chlorine can bond together Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
Sodium and chlorine can bond together. Sodium gives chlorine a needed electron. What is chlorine's charge after accepting the electron?
-1
Which is the electron configuration of chlorine?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 is the electron configuration of chlorine

Why is chlorine is so reactive?
Chlorine's structure makes it very reactive (it is in group VII of the Periodic Table and therefore needs to gain one electron in order to become stable)!
Why can chlorine accept only one electron?
it is only one electron short from obtaining the noble gas structure so it only tries to gain one and resists the rest

Give the electron configuration for a neutral atom of chlorine?
The electron configuration for neutral Chlorine is 2.8.6.
Which is the electron configuration of chlorine?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 is the electron configuration of chlorine
Does chlorine attract of release electron and if so how many are involved?
Chlorine attracts 1 electron
What is the electron configuration for an atom of chlorine?
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5
What happens to sodiums valence electron when sodium bonds with chlorine to form table salt?
The electron is transferred to chlorine.
What is the valency of an element with example?
== == The valency of an element is the measure of electrons it needs or needs to loose to obtain a stable structure (a noble gas structure, such as helium, neon, argon ...) for example in NaCl, sodium has 11 electrons which means 1 valence electron, chlorine has 17 electrons which means it has -1 valence electrons; so sodium looses 1 electron and chlorine gains that electron so sodium ends up with 10 electrons (Neon's electron structure) and chlorine ends up with 18 electrons (Argon's electron structure) the number of outer electrons. Noble elements are the most stable elements (thats why they don't react well and stay alone, like helium) so all the other elements try to obtain the noble electron structure. Elements usually gain or loose 4 electrons.
