They both have two electron shells
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The period 2 element lies in the second row of the periodic system.
Consists of the elements: lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon
atomic number : 3
electron configuration : [He] 2s¹
atomic number = number of proton=number of electron(in neutral atom)
So Li have 3 protons and 3 electrons
Because it fills the 2s orbital it has 2 shells
atomic number : 8
electron configuration : [He] 2s²2p⁴
So O have 8 protons and 8 electrons
Because it fills the 2s and 2p orbital it has 2 shells
So Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) are both have two electron shells
Why chlorine has highest electron affinity than fluorine?
This is because the atomic radius increases down a group. The electron gained ends up in the outermost shell. ... Fluorine, which is higher up the group then chlorine, has a lower electron affinity. This is because the electrons in the outermost shell of a fluorine atom are closer together.
Because alloys have qualities that are preferable to pure metals, almost all metals are utilised as alloys—that is, mixes of several elements. Alloying is done for a variety of purposes, the most common of which are to increase strength, corrosion resistance, or cost savings.
it has less tightly bound electrons, is able to lose electron easily as compare to metal B at it has 4 unpaired electron in 3d sub-shell.
