The suitable representation of dot structure of chlorine molecule is :

Correct answer: B. B

  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. C
  • D. D

Explanation

The suitable structure of the dot structure of the chlorine molecule is shown in option B as it shows 7 electrons in each of the chlorine atom's outermost shells, making a total of 14. In other options, chlorine combinations do not sum up to the real number 14.

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
