The electronic configuration of a chlorine ion in BeCl2 compound is

[2.8.8]^- (answer B)

chlorine atom gain on electron form Be to form chloride ions
chlorine atom has a electronic configuration of 2.8.7 and it gains one electron to form chloride ion with 2.8.8 electronic configuration

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in the outermost shell. when it forms an ionic bond with Be, it takes in 1 electron and achieves the noble gas configuration
since it has one more electron it gains a negative charge of -1.
anion is then - Cl⁻
electronic configuration of Cl atom is - [2,8,7]
after taking in the electron Cl⁻ - [2,8.8]⁻
answer is
<span>B. [2.8.8]</span>⁻

During a hot summer, air temperatures along a coastline are higher above the land than they are above the water, even though bot

Over the ocean, the temperature rises much slower, because the water evaporates causing the hot molecules to go into the atmosphere, and the overall temperature of the water doesn't increase much, this causes the area without the water to be much hotter.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2 }}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{Moles of Cu(OH)}_{2} = \text{23.45 g Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{97.562 g Cu(OH)}_{2}} = \\\\\text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}$

2. Calculate the molecules of copper(II) hydroxide

$\text{No. of molecules} = \text{0.240 36 mol Cu(OH)}_{2} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cu(OH)}_{2}}\\\\= 1.447 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{2}\\\text{The sample contains $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.447 \times 10^{23}}\textbf{ molecules Cu(OH)}_{\mathbf{2}}}$}$
