Answer : The correct option is argon.

Explanation :

Neutral atom : It is defined as an atom has equal number of electrons and protons.

  • The given electronic configuration of magnesium is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of magnesium is 12 that means it has 12 number of protons and 12 number of electrons.

As per given electronic configuration, there are 18 electrons are present in magnesium which is the electronic configuration of argon. So, this is not a neutral atom.

  • The given electronic configuration of argon is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of argon is 18 that means it has 18 number of protons and 18 number of electrons. So, this is a neutral atom.

Which reaction occurs at the cathode of a lead-storage battery that is being recharged?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Reaction on positive electrode (cathode):
PbSO₄₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2e⁻ + PbO₂₍s₎ + 4H⁺₍aq₎ + SO₄²⁻₍aq₎.
s - solid.
l - liquid.
aq - dissolve in water.
PbSO4 is converted to Pb at one electrode (anode) and to PbO₂ at the other (cathode). Lead battery can be recharged, during recharging, an external source of energy is used.
