I’m guessing it would be A because the river discharge tends to gather near coastlines where the river ends
Answer: Tin (Sn)
Explanation: The electron configuration for tin (Sn) is shown in the picture. It's last electrons are:
5s^2 4d^10 5p^2
The valence electrons are in the 5th electron shell and include 2 each in the 5s and 5p orbitals.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: letter D.
Explanation:
Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.
Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.
a. 1s22s22p4 The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.
b. [Ne]2s22p2 The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.
c. [Ar] 3s1 This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.
d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.
