i) Chlorine Molecules
ii) Carbon Tetra Chloride
iii) Ammonia​

Answer 1

Answer:

I have given the text above

please

Answer 2

• Formation of chlorine molecule: Two chlorine atoms share one electron of each and acquire stable electronic configuration.

• Formation of carbon tetrachloride: Carbon atoms has four electrons in the outermost shell. In the formation of carbon tetrachloride, it shares four electrons with four chlorine atoms. In turn four chlorine atoms share one electron each with one carbon atom. Thus in all, one carbon atom and four chlorine atoms complete their octet by mutual sharing of electrons and carbon tetrachloride containing four covalent bonds is formed.

• Formation of ammonia molecule: Nitrogen (N) atom has 5 electrons (2, 5) in the outermost shell. It shares one electron each of three hydrogen atoms to form ammonia molecule.
