Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of neon in ground state is 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}.

The electronic configuration of helium in ground state is 1s^{2}.

The electronic configuration of radon in ground state is Xe 4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^{2}6p^{6}.

The electronic configuration of hydrogen in ground state is 1s^{1}.

Therefore, from the above electronic configurations it can be seen that only hydrogen has deficiency of 1 electron and rest all the elements have completely filled shells. So, in order to complete its octet hydrogen will readily accept one electron.

Therefore, hydrogen will attain a stable valence electron configuration by bonding with another atom.

The atom that can attain a stable valence electron configuration by bonding with another atom is the hydrogen. The answer is number 4. The elements neon, helium and radon are already stable and does not need other elements to bond with.

Be sure to answer all parts. Fluoride ion is poisonous in relatively low amounts: 0.2 g of F− per 70 kg of body weight can cause
Stells [14]

Answer:

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.

Explanation:

Toxic level of fluoride ions = 0.2 g per 70 kg body weight

Concentration of fluoride ions in drinking water = 1 mg/ L = 0.001 g/L

1 mg = 0.001 g

Let the volume of drinking water consumed by person to reach the toxic level of fluoride concentration be V.

For 70 kg body weight 0.2 grams of fluoride ions will be toxic.

V\times 0.001 g/L=0.2 g

V=\frac{0.2 g}{0.001 g/L}=200 L

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Potassium

Explanation:

The description here fits potassium. Potassium is not found alone in nature as it is very reactive. Hence, it tends to occur in relation with other elements because of its high reactivity.

Because it is stated that it gives up its single valence electron, this shows that it belongs to group one of the periodic table. We might be tempted to think hydrogen is the correct answer. But it is interesting to note that hydrogen is not even supposed to be placed in group one at all. It is only placed there for convenience
