<span>D.) Oxygen would acquire a stable arrangement of electrons by bonding with two atoms of "Magnesium"
[ As Mg has 2 extra electrons & their size are quite similar ]
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
An example of an atom that has no charge is one that has a. 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 1 neutron.
To be neutral an atom must have the <em>same number</em> of protons (+) and electrons (-).
Only then will the <em>charges cancel</em> and give a neutral atom.
Answer:
it's describes the velocity. since a direction was specifically given, that means it is displacement, and displacement is to velocity while distance is to speed
