\The electron dot diagram for a neutral atom of chlorine (atomic number 17) is shown below.

Which of the following symbols represents a chlorine ion with a stable arrangement of eight valence electrons?
A. 35Cl1-
B. 35Cl2-
C. 35Cl1+
D. 35Cl

Respuesta :

Chlorine has 17 electrons

Lets look at Electronic configuration

[tex]\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5[/tex]

  • It require 1 electron to become Argon.

Required configuration should be

[tex]\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6[/tex]

Now

Symbol will be

[tex]\\ \bullet\sf\dashrightarrow {}_{35}Cl^{1-}[/tex]

Option A is correct
