    Number of valence electrons in Cl- ion are : (a) 16              (b) 8               (c) 17              (d) 18  

    Answer:

    (b) Electronic configuration of Cl (Z = 17) = 2,8,7. Thus, it has 7 valence electrons. Cl  gains 1 electron to form Cl- ion. So, number of valence electrons =7+1=8.
