Chemistry · CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
हिन्दीAccording to the Lewis-Kössel approach, if an element forms an anion with noble gas configuration by gaining 3 electrons, what is its group valence based on the formula \( 8 - \text{dots} \)?
Correct answer · Option 3
\( 3 \)
Explanation
An element requiring 3 electrons has 5 valence electrons (5 dots). Its group valence is \( 8 - 5 = 3 \).
