Problem 32E

b. the radius of an anion and that of the atom from which it is formed.
ANSWER:
Solution 32 E:Here, we are going to discuss about the covalent bond.Covalent bond is defined as the sharing of electrons between atoms. All atoms are covalentlybonded to each other to gain stability. Atom should be shared their electrons to satisfy the octetrule.The Octet Rule is satisfied when all atoms in a molecule to have 8 valence electrons eitherby sharing, losing or gaining electrons to become stable. This is because only 8 electrons arerequired to fulfil the s and p- orbital of electronic configuration which is also known as Noblegas configuration.The atomic number of S is = 16The electronic configuration of S is [Ne] 3s 3p . The outer valence shell
