Question

The two F-atoms share one electron in their outermost shell to gain electronic

configuration of
A: Xe
B: Ar
C: Kr
D: Ne
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The two F-atoms share one electron in their outermost shell to gain electronic configuration of noble has element NEON.

SO OPTION (D) IS CORRECT

Answer 2

The two F-atoms share one electron in their outermost shell to gain the electronic configuration of the Ne atom.

• The electronic configuration of the F atom is as follows-
• ${1s}^{2} {2s}^{2} {2p}^{5}$
• Hence the 2p orbital contains 5 electrons so, it requires one electron to fulfil its octet.
• Hence the two F atoms share electrons and are converted into the electronic configuration of inert gas Ne.
• So, the two F-atoms share one electron in their outermost shell to gain the electronic configuration of the Ne atom.
• The correct option is D.
