Then the 3rd shell should hold 18 electrons since chlorine has 17 electrons in a neutral state how come we say it pursues the octet rule despite it being able to hold 18 electrons? For example, it's shown during an ionic transfer with Na to gain an electron and be satisfied occurring to the octet rule.

On the potential energy curve, the bond length is the internuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Consider that the atomic radius (sometimes called the covalent or bonding atomic radius) of an element is defined as one-half the distance between the bonded atoms in a homonuclear diatomic molecule. Actual bond lengths in molecules are determined experimentally by such methods as X-ray diffraction and microwave spectroscopy. However, these atomic radii values can be used to give an estimate of the upper limit of bond length in other (heteronuclear) molecules. Given that the atomic radii of H and F are 37.0 pm and 72.0 pm, respectively, predict the upper limit of the bond length of the HF molecule. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) Bond length upper limit= Submit μÅ Value…arrow_forwardWhat is noble gas electron configuration of Zn2+ ?arrow_forward
