6. How many electrons will an iodine atom donate or accept, based on its number of valence electrons? A. donate seven electrons
B. accept one electron
C. donate one electron
D. accept seven electrons

Given :

An atom Iodine.

To Find :

How many electrons will an iodine atom donate or accept, based on its number of valence electrons :

A.donate seven electrons

B.accept one electron

C.donate one electron

D.accept seven electrons

Solution :

We know, valence electron in Iodine is 7 electrons.

So, it is easy for iodine to accept 1 electron rather than giving all 7 electrons to another element.

Therefore, Iodine will accept one electron ( Option B.).

Hence, this is the required solution.
