Which of the following elements will sulfur most readily react with in order to help it fill its outer shell with 8 electrons?

Chemistry

Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

If an isotope of an element has 40 neutrons and a mass number of 79, how many electrons must it have?
34kurt

Answer: 39 electrons

Explanation: Subtract 79 by 40 to get the atomic number (amount of protons) which is 39. The number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons if it's not an ionic compound so the amount of electrons is the same amount of protons.
