Answer:

1s22s22p6: Neon (Ne)

1s22s22p63s23p3: Phosphorous (P)

1s22s22p63s23p64s1: Potassium (K)

1s22s22p63s23p64s2(im not sure what 308 is supposed to be): Calcium (Ca)

1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d3: there is no pure element that ends 4d3 that I know of so this can either be Zirconium(Zr) if it ends in 4d2 or Niobium (Nb) if it ends in 4d4

Explanation:

you can look at the periodic table and the trends to find the rough idea of where the electron configuration ends, there are helpful articles and images on these, i attached an image that may help. After that you can look at the atomic number to find the number of electrons for a pure element and use the electron subshell pattern thing to find the exact number

Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge

laila [671]

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.
