Question

Which of the following structures correctly represents the electron dot structure of a chlorine molecule? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

i thik A is right plz follow me and plz add me in Brinlist

Answer 2

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.
