Note that there is a difference between a pair of electrons (two dots) and a single electron (one dot). Adding 7 single electrons the Cl atom is not graded equivalently to adding three lone pairs of electrons and one single electron. Electrons will only be available in the More menu if they are needed to complete the question. Add 7 total electrons to the chlorine atom. Add the electrons as three lone pairs of electrons (two dots) and one single electron (one dot).

Charge imbalance on the atomic scale. a) If you come across a lone neon atom, is it likely to have an equal number of protons and electrons? Explain your answer. b) If you find yourself a lone iodine atom, is it likely to have an equal number of protons and electrons? Explain your answer.
Consider As and Br. Which would have a higher effective nuclear charge and why? O O Arsenic (As) because it has fewer electrons than bromine. Bromine (Br) because it has more electrons than arsenic. Arsenic (As) because both have the same number of core electrons, but Arsenic has fewer protons. Bromine (Br) because both have the same number of core electrons, but bromine has more protons. They have the same effective nuclear charge because they are in the same row.
