Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 15
Question: If the atomic number of element $ X $ is 7, the best electron dot symbol for the element is [NCERT 1973; CPMT 2003]
Options:
A) $ X. $
B) $ .X. $
C) $ .\underset{.}{\overset{.}{\mathop{X}}},: $
D) $ :\underset{.,.}{\overset{.,.}{\mathop{X}}},. $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Element -X- has atomic no. 7 so its electronic configuration will be 2, 5. So its electron dot symbol would be $ :\underset{.}{\mathop{\overset{.}{\mathop{X}},}},. $
