Question

(a) What type of chemical bond is present in chlorine molecule? Explain your answer.
(b) Explain the formation of a chlorine molecule on the basis of electronic theory of valency.

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the two chlorine atoms share electrons, there is a strong force of attraction between them which holds them together. This force is called covalent bond. Now, each chlorine atom in the chlorine molecule has the electronic configuration 2,8,8 resembling its nearest inert gas argon

Explanation:

in a chlorine molecule. Chlorine is a simple molecule. each chlorine atom can count 8 electrons in its outer shell. One pair of shared electrons form a single covalent bond.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hi here is your answer.

Explanation:

Covalent bond; Because whenever two atoms of the same element combine to form a molecule, a covalent bond is formed.

Hope it helps.
