Metal is named first

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

NaCl

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine.

Sodium chloride is also binary compound composed of only two element hydrogen and chlorine.

When naming these compounds the name of metal or cation is written first and anion is written after the cation. The anions are non meals.

Which element has the following electron configuration: <br> 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p5
Natasha2012 [34]
Try adding spaces next time! That's iodine. Check all of the numbers to make sure all of the orbitals are filled, then find the ones which aren't. In this one, only the 5p5 subshell isn't full. 5p5 is the fifth row on the right side, count across the nonmetals and metalloids until the fifth one (a halogen). That's iodine, and that's your answer!
