Sulfur has two filled energy levels and six electrons on the third energy level. The corresponding electron configuration is A.
B is incorrect because there are no p orbitals at the first energy level, ie, no 1p orbitals. C is incorrect because the 4s1 electron would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals. D is incorrect because the 3d electrons would spontaneously drop into the 3p orbitals.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Nitrogen (N)
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Atoms may lose or gain electrons to achieve stability. Metal atoms lose electrons to attain stable configuration, and as a result they form positively charged ions called cations.
- <u>Non-metals on the other hand gain electrons to attain stable configuration, and as a result form negatively charged ions called anions.</u>
- <u>Among the elements given above nitrogen (N) gains electrons to form a negatively charged ion called anion. </u>

Answer:
rate = kxyz
Explanation:
It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.
rate = kxyz
