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.
