Answer:
Option (a) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the electronic configuration of Cl = 17 = 2,8,7
Let us represent the valence shell electrons by ( x )
To attain stability, the atom must have 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
Both the Cl atoms need 1 electron to attain stability
Therefore, by electron sharing, the following structure will be obtained.
Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer.
