Explanation:
elctronic configuration of manganese
Mn=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁵
ground state
Mn=Ar3d⁵4s²
note that Ar is argon
Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell
Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.
Yes because color change is a sign of a chemical reaction.
A neutral atom of potassium has 19 electrons.
