Explain the formation of chlorine molecule ?
Chlorine molecule is formed between two chlorine atoms by sharing one electron of each chlorine atom.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17. It has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and needs one more electron to fulfill it in order to attain noble gas configuration. Thus, two Cl - atoms share their electrons to form molecule of Chlorine or chlorine diatomic molecule.
