The valence electrons are in the 3p shell.
Chlorine principally bonds by gaining 1 electron into the 3p orbital, giving 3p6 and a chlorine ion with a (-1) charge. This gives an ionic bond eg sodium chloride.
However it can share electrons in the 3p and 3d shell, as in chlorates, to from 3 covalent bonds.
3 orbits
The element chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell.
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
There are 7 valence electrons in chlorine atom and 8 valence electrons in chloride ion.
Chlorine has 7 electrons in the outermost shell. It is in the 17th group. It has 7 valence electrons.
A chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons.
chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
The element chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
In every chlorine atom, there are seven valence electrons.
No. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer most orbit (or energy level) and not in outer most orbital.
Chlorine has only one half-filled orbital. This means that it can only bond with one other atom.
