Referring only to a periodic table, give the number of covalent bonds expected for each of these representative elements.
(a) At
(b) Te
(c) Cl
(d) I
(e) Kr
a)
At is in group 7A
So, it needs 1 more electrons to complete octet
SO, It can form 1 covalent bond
b)
Te is in group 6A
So, it needs 2 more electrons to complete octet
SO, It can form 2 covalent bond
c)
Cl is in group 7A
So, it needs 1 more electrons to complete octet
SO, It can form 1 covalent bond
d)
I is in group 7A
So, it needs 1 more electrons to complete octet
SO, It can form 1 covalent bond
e)
Kr is a noble gas
It already has its octet complete
So, it will not form any covalent bond
