Answer:

2) The outer electron of atom B has moved to a lower energy state.

Explanation:

Properly writing the sublevel notations:

        Atom A = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

         Atom B = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 5s¹

Solution:

According to the Aufbau's principle, "the sublevels with the lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".

The pattern of filling is shown below:

      1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5d, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, etc.

The configuration of atom A having a total of 11 electrons follows the Aufbau's rule as we can see.

For atom B, we see a higher energy level which is the 5s coming into the lower energy orbitals. Therefore, the outer electrons of atom B has moved to a lower energy state.

What would barium do to obtain a noble gas structure? gain 2 electrons lose 2 electrons gain 6 electrons lose 6 electrons
Tema [17]

Answer:

Lose two electrons.

Explanation:

Barium is present in group 2.

It is alkaline earth metal.

Its atomic number is 56.

Its electronic configuration is Ba₅₆ = [Xe] 6s².

In order to attain the noble gas electronic configuration it must loses its two valance electrons.

When barium loses it two electron its electronic configuration will equal to the Xenon.

The atomic number of xenon is 54 so barium must loses two electrons to becomes equal to the xenon.

What happens to reactants molecules when forming product molecules?
aleksley [76]
Reactant molecules are any substance that goes into a reaction. When forming product molecules, the reactant molecules combine and create a new molecule (i.e. the combination of methane and oxygen can make carbon dioxide and water).
