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.

Compare the boiling points of 1-pentyne and 1-octyne.
Elan Coil [88]
1-pentyne consists of a carbon chain of 5 carbons one with a triple bond. 1-octyne is a carbon chain of 8 carbons with a triple bond at some point. It is known that the longer the carbon chain the higher the boiling point since more energy will be required to break the bonds between carbons. Based on this it is predicted that 1-octyne will have a higher boiling point than 1-pentyne.
