I just took the test it is A hope this helps :)
Answer:
Potassium
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Explanation:
The atom having only one electron its outermost shell must belong to an element in group one of the periodic table.
Having noted that, we proceed to find out what element in group one that has the atom just described in the question.
That atom must belong to an element in the fourth period. The only group 1 element in the fourth period is potassium.
The electron configuration of potassium is;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
Answer:
All elements are neutral
Explanation:
The plum pudding model of the atom indicated that all elements are neutral. The model was proposed by J.J Thomson after he conducted his experiment on the gas discharge tube.
From the experiment he discovered electrons which he called cathode rays.
Therefore, he suggested the plum pudding model of the atom.
The model describes negatively charge sphere surrounded by positive charges to balance them.
