Answer:
The answer to your question is: letter D.
Explanation:
Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.
Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.
a. 1s22s22p4 The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.
b. [Ne]2s22p2 The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.
c. [Ar] 3s1 This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.
d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.
The oxidation state of N changes from +2 to 0 while that of C changed from +2 to +4.
<h3>Oxidation and reduction</h3>
Oxidation is defined as an increase in oxidation number of the addition of oxygen while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number or removal of oxygen.
In the reaction shown by the equation, the oxidation number of N in NO changed from +2 to 0 in
while that of C in CO changed from +2 to +4 in
.
Thus, NO is acting as the oxidizing agent while CO is acting is the reducing agent.
