Question

Number of valence electrons in CI ion are:
(a) 16 (b) 8 (c) 17 (d) 18what the f*** is it going on ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) 17 because the electronic configuration of the element is 2, 8, 7

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello buddy, ok I know chemistry sucks and that we can't express that in words, but we can't do anything till 10th, right? Lol ×D

Explanation: so the answer is below:

Chlorine has atomic no. 17 so, it's distribution will be k-2, L- 8, M-7, since it has only 1 electron left out in its outermost shell, therefore the Valence electron is only 1, there might be printing mistake in the question since there is no option as 1.

Hope it helps.
