I think it’s B 5.54 x 10^2g
*A & B*
Answers A & B are not possible, as Hydrogen “bonds” are intermolecular forces and do not actually involve transfer or sharing of electrons.
*C & D*
Viscosity and surface tension are not the answer as they are not specific enough to the question.
*E*
Polarity of water molecules is the correct answer, as water molecules are highly polar. The partial positive of the Hydrogen on one water molecule is highly attracted to the partial negative of the Oxygen (due to its lone pairs) on another water molecule.
This element is found in group 3A, period 3
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)
-
K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
- L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
- M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
- N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons
Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :
K shell = 2 ⇒1s²
L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶
M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹
Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids
The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3
group⇒valence electron ⇒3
period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3
