The atomic number of hydrogen is __, and it has __ electron(s) in its outer shell.
1,1
The atomic number of chlorine is __, and it has __ electron(s) in its outer shell.
17,7
using the style shown in Figure 3.2, draw an atom of hydrogen and chlorine, clearly indicating the numbers and positions of the protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Hydrogen: should be a circle to be the "shell", with an "electron" on that shell (a small circle with and negative sign in it) and on the inside of the shell should be one "proton" and one "neutron" (both small circles one with a circle in it and other wi
Is the hydrogen atom stable? Is the chlorine atom stable?
yes, and yes
What type of bond is likely to form the compound HCl (hydrochloric acid)?
Covalent bond
Repeat your drawings, but also show how and explain how this bond of HCl would form.
the drawing should be like the one above except the one "electron" on the hydrogen is bonded with the Chlorine (they are sharing the electron) which balances the outer shells of both
