Question
Match each description with the most appropriate atom of the choices given: chlorine, sodium, or carbon. Most likely to formClosest to the right side of the Periodic Table Has 4 valence electrons Highest electronegativity Most likely to form an anion covalent bonds Lowest electronegativity Most likely to lose anMost likely to share Has 1 valence electron Has 7 valence electrons electron electrons Most likely to gain an Closest to the left side Most likely to form a of the Periodic Table electron cation (atomic number 17) Sodlum (atomic number 1) Carbon (etomic number 6) Sodium (atomic number 11) Carbon (atomic number 6)Explanation / Answer
Most likely to form covalent bond- carbon
Closest to the right side of periodic table-chlorine
Has 4 valence elecrron- carbon
Highest electronegativity-chlorine
Most likely to form an anion- chlorine
Most likely to lose an electron- sodium
Most likely to share electron- carbon
Has 1 valence electron- sodium
Has 7 valence electron- chlorine
Lowest electronegativity- sodium
Most likely to gain an electron -chlorine
Closest to left side of periodic table- sodium
Most likely to form an cation- sodium
