Answer:
You have to remember this memory aid, diagonals and all.
You have to keep a tight tally of the electrons you’ve used so far so you don’t go over the number of electrons in the element you’re working on.
You have to remember how many electrons fit into each subshell (s, p, d, f).
It takes a lot of time, especially when the element has more than 20 electrons.
Explanation:
Answer:
K-sylvite
Na-rock salt
Explanation:
Sylvite is a colourless or white mineral consisting of potassium chloride, occurring typically as cubic crystals(Oxford dictionary). It is the primary ore of potassium metal. It appears colorless, sometimes with a shade of red.
Rock salt is a primary ore of sodium. It is found in rocks, seas etc. Rock salt is sometimes commonly called halite. It usually appears white in colour and is rich in sodium.
Answer:tetrahedral
Explanation:
According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR). The number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule influences the shape of that molecule. Four electron pairs around the central atom of a molecule leads to a tetrahedral geometry as predicted by VSEPR.
