    Which of the following is the correct electronic formula of chlorine molecule                                       [CPMT 1971]

    A)                 \[:\,\underset{.\,.}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{Cl}}}\,\,:\,\underset{.\,.}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{Cl}}}\,\,:\]               

    B)                 \[:\,\underset{.\,.}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{C{{l}^{-}}}}}\,\,:\,\,:\,\,\underset{.\,.}{\overset{\,.\,.}{\mathop{C{{l}^{+}}}}}\,\,:\]

    C)                 \[:\,\underset{{}}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{Cl}}}\,\,:\,\underset{{}}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{Cl}}}\,\,:\]

    D)                 \[:\,\underset{{}}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{Cl}}}\,\,:\,\underset{{}}{\overset{\,\,\,.\,.}{\mathop{\,:\,Cl}}}\,\,:\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[:\underset{..}{\mathop{\overset{..}{\mathop{Cl}}\,}}\,\,\cdot \,\cdot \underset{..}{\mathop{\overset{..}{\mathop{Cl}}\,}}\,:\] is the correct electronic formula of \[C{{l}_{2}}\]molecule because each chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell.
