<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u>

Phosphorus is the 15th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 3 = 5

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option B:</u>

Aluminium is the 13th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1

Number of valence electrons = 2 + 1 = 3

The '3s' orbital is fully filled and one of all the three '3p' orbitals is half filled and rest are empty for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option C:</u>

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Number of valence electrons = 2

The '4s' orbital is fully filled and all the three '4p' orbitals are half filled for the given element. '4s' sub-shell has only one orbital.

So, the given statement is not correct.

  • <u>Option D:</u>

Sodium is the 11th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Number of valence electrons = 1

The '3s' orbital is half filled and all the three '3p' orbitals are half filled for the given element.

So, the given statement is not correct.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Answer:

5.66g/ml

Explanation:

Mass of Metal Slug, m = 25.17g

Volume of container (flask), v = 59.7ml

Mass of Methanol, M = 43.7g with density, d = 0.791g/ml

Therefore,

Volume of Methanol = M/d = 43.7 / 0.791 = 55.25ml

Volume of Metal slug in the flask = v - V = 59.7 - 55.25 = 4.45ml

Density of Metal slug = mass of metal slug / volume of metal slug

                                   = 25.17 / 4.45 = 5.66g/ml
