Which one between chlorine atom and chloride ion is most stable? Explain why? |
|
Answer» ong>ANSWER: When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical ATOM. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence ELECTRONS and wants its 8TH to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable. please MARK me as a brainilist... |
