Question

Chlorine accepts one electron from element X to form a molecule Which among the following would most likely be
element X?
Chlorine
Magnesium
Sodium
Oxygen​

Answer 1

Answer:

obviously magnesium hope it will be helpful

Answer 2

The element X is sodium.

• Sodium and chlorine can perfom electron transfer between them, to form an ionic compound, named as sodium chloride.
• In the above mentioned electron transfer during the formation of sodium chloride, one electron goes from sodium atom to the chlorine atom, in order to form Na+ and Cl- ions.
• So, in this case, the chlorine takes one electron from the sodium, and later forms sodium chloride molecule.
• That's why, we can consider that element X is most probably sodium.
