draw electron dot structure for divalent halide
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The electron dot structure of the divalent halide of calcium and chlorine contains 7 dots around chlorine and 2 dots around calcium.
Electron dot structure is defined as the structure in which valence electrons are represented in the form of dots around the chemical symbol of an element.
Up to two or eight electrons are placed on each side of the element that is the number of electrons present in a filled s and p-shell. For example, atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 7.
Hence, electron dot structure of chlorine contains 7 dots around the symbol Cl. Similarly, atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8, 2. And, the electron dot structure of calcium contains two dots.
