Answer: Option (5) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that the ground state electronic configuration of silicon is ![[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E%7B2%7D3p%5E%7B2%7D)
.
And, we know that when an atom tends to gain an electron then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom tends to lose an electron then it acquires a positive charge.
As 
has a +4 charge which means that it has lost 4 electrons. Hence, the electronic configuration of is 
.
According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.
As 2p orbital is filled after the filling of 2s orbital.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2p orbital will be occupied by the electrons of highest energy for the ground-state ion.

Explanation:
The dimensions of a standard backpack is 30cm x 30cm x 40cm
The mass of an average student is 70 kg
We know that, the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³.
Let m be the mass of the backpack. So,
An average student has a mass of 70 kg. If we compare the mass of student and mass of backpack, we find that the backpack is 10 times of the mass of the student.
The third question requires you to solve for the weight of sodium (Na) and weight of Chloride (Cl) from the calculated moles of each element Na, and Cl.
So, you need to multiply the calculated moles of Na with its molar mass (23 g/ mol) to get the answer for Na. And multiply the calculated moles of Cl with its molar mass (35.45 g/mol) to get the answer for Cl.
