Answer:

0, 1, and 2.

Explanation:

According to the quantum theory, it's not possible to determine at the same time the velocity and the position of an electron (uncertainty principle), but, it's possible to determine the most probable space that the electron is, which is called the orbital. The electron is then characterized by 4 quantum numbers, which indicates the orbital it is.

The principal quantum number (n) represents the energic levels, or shells, that the electron is surrounding the nucleus. It is represented by letters (K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q), or by numbers (1 to 7).

The azimuthal quantum number (l) represents the energic sublevel, or subshell, inside the level, and it is represented by letters (s, p, d, and f), or by number (0 to 3). It varies from 0 to n-1.

The magnetic quantum number (m) represents the orbital, and it varies from -l to l passing by the 0. Each orbital can have at least 2 electrons.

The spin quantum number (s) represents the spin of the electron in the orbital, it is a measure of the rotation. Thus, one electron has spin -1/2 and the other +1/2.

So, for the third principal level (n = 3), the maximum possible value for l is 2 (3 - 1), so the possibles values are 0,1, and 2.

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and $CaCl_{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

PART 1:

Atomic number of sodium is 11.
Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become $Na^{1+}$ which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
The symbol for the sodium ion is $Na^{+}$ .
Chlorine atom ( $Cl$ , Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be isoelectronic to neon.
The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
PART 2:
Atomic number of calcium is 20
Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become $Ca^{2+}$ which is isoelectronic to argon.
The symbol for the ion is $Ca^{2+}.$
Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
The symbol for the compound formed is $CaCl_{2}$ .

Rechargeable batteries use a reversible reaction medium to convert electrical current to a form of chemical energy which can be stored for future use.

<h3>What is a rechargeable battery?</h3>

A rechargeable battery is a type of battery that can be charged many times by passing electric current through the cells in a reversible reaction.

<h3>How does recahargeable battery store energy?</h3>

When electrical energy from an outside source is applied to a secondary cell (reachargeable battery), the negative to positive electron flow that occurs during discharge is reversed, and the cell's charge is restored. This process is called reversible reaction.

Thus, rechargeable batteries use a reversible reaction medium to convert electrical current to a form of chemical energy which can be stored for future use.
