Can you explain how Cl2 has 2 electrons one side and one electron on the other? And how to the positive signs get into the picture? Is there’s a previous lecture that explains this?
Sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to show that the electrons on the chlorine molecule randomly move around the entire chlorine molecule. For a split second, there may be more electrons on one side of the molecule than on another side. By drawing the molecule with 2 electrons on one side and 1 electron on another side, I was trying to convey the idea that for a brief moment, there were more electrons one side of the molecule, which gave that side a more negative charge. The other side with one electron was not as negative, or, it was more positive. So the side with more electrons is the negative side and the side with fewer electrons is the positive side.
Definitely the best explanations come from you Mr. Louie! It’s fantastic to have such an online professor. Greetings from Argentina!

Thank you for the clarification, now I understand
