The answer is (3) 3. The outer shell of an atom is called valence shell. And the ground state is the lowest energy state of an atom. Aluminum has a electron distribution of 2, 8, 3. So the outer shell has 3 electrons.
Answer:
B or D

If earth didn't rotate the global winds would stay on the same speed of rate because the wind isn't moving without rotation in the earths axis.
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.
Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.
Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.
Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
