Why chlorine is electronegative according to molecular orbital theory

Answers

Answered by kritichauhan04

chlorine has at. no 17
so its electronic configuration will be 2,8,7
it needs 1 electron to become neutral & attain the ele configuration of nearest noble gas ie argon
so it gains 1 electron more readily that losing the 7 remaing
hence it is electronegative
