I think the answer is 1s²2s²2p⁶.  Since neon has an atomic number of 10, we know that it needs to have 10 electrons and since it is in the second row it cannot have any d electrons which makes the first option incorrect.  The second option is incorrect because the 2s⁴ can't exist since s orbitals can only hold 2 electrons.  The fourth option cannot be right because it again neon cannot have d electrons due to it being in the second row.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

If the concentration of the stock (provided) Cu(NH3)42 was 0.041 M, what concentration will the Cu2 be in beaker?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

[Cu^{2+}]=0.041 M

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of a solution is defined in terms of the moles of the solute and the volume of solution, given that the concentration of Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺ is 0.041 M, and there is only one copper atom per Cu(NH₃)₄²⁺ ion, we can compute the concentration of Cu²⁺ as shown below:

[Cu^{2+}]=0.041\frac{molCu(NH_3)_4^{2+}}{L}*\frac{1molCu^{2+}}{1molCu(NH_3)_4^{2+}} =0.041 \frac{molCu(NH_3)_4^{2+}}{L}

[Cu^{2+}]=0.041 M

Best regards!
