Question

An element ‘A’ forms a chloride ACl₄The number electrons in the valence shell of ‘A’[ ]a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4

Answer 1

Answer:

ans 4

Explanation:

because A can maximally form bonds equal to the no of electrons in its outermost cpdhell

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

(d) 4

● Explanation -

• As chlorine in it's valence shell has 7 electrons, it needs 1 electron from other atom to fill its octet.
• Elememt A forms ACl4, hence A need to donate/share 4 electrons from its valence shell to complete its octet.
• Hence, element A has 4 electrons in its outermost shell.

Thanks dear...
