which is the noble gas notation for chlorine?\nne 4s² 4p⁵\nne 3s² 3p⁵\nne 3s² 3p³\nne 3p² 3p⁵
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Chlorine has 17 electrons. Neon ((Ne)) has 10 electrons. So, we need to account for the remaining (17 - 10=7) electrons. The next - shell filling order is (3s) (which can hold 2 electrons) and then (3p) (which can hold up to 6 electrons). For the remaining 7 electrons, 2 go in (3s) and 5 go in (3p).
Answer:
[Ne] (3s^{2}3p^{5})
