Answer:
Since different isotopes of an element have different numbers of neutrons (but always the same number of protons) they have different mass numbers. Nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15 are both stable isotopes of nitrogen. However, the other 5 isotopes are all unstable.
Unfortunately you did not specify the electronic configuration in the question, however since one of the answers must be a halogen, i took the liberty to attach an image with the configuration (both the simple numeric and spdf form) for all the halogen and all you have to do is match the electronic configuration you have in your question to the one in the table attached and you can then deduce the answer.
Hope this helps.
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

What is an electron?</h3>
Electrons are simply the subatomic particles which orbit the nucleus of an atom.
The arrangement of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom is known as the electron configuration. This can be determined by using a periodic table.
It should be noted that carbon is the sixth element with a total of 6 electrons in the periodic table. Thus, the atomic number Z = 6.
In conclusion, the ground-state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

Answer:
Non metals join to form covalent bond.
Explanation:
Covalent bond:
It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.
The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.
Both atoms bonded through covalent bond.
In Cl₂ both chlorine atoms are bonded through the covalent bond.
B) the number of electrons
