Question

Statement 1: $B{r}_2$ molecule attains noble gas configuration by sharing electrons between atoms.​

Statement 2: The shared electrons belong to the outermost shells of both ​atoms.​

• A. Statement 1 is true, but statement 2 is false.​
• B. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are false.​
• C. Statement 1 is false, but statement 2 is true.​
• D. Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true.​

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both statement 1 and statement 2 are true.​

• $B{r}_2$ molecule attains noble gas configuration by sharing .
• Bromine shares the electron with another bromine atom to attain the octet rule , which is the nearest noble gas configuration.
• In this the electron which is shared is the outermost shell electron.
• So, here both the given statements are correct.
• The correct option is A.
