Answer:

The answer to your question is:  B and C.

Explanation:

Neon atomic number = 10

Electron configuration is not :   1s²2s¹2p⁶  .

This electron configuration is for fluor (9 electrons) because is we sum up the electrons ( 2 + 1 + 6) the result is 9.

A)The 3s orbital should be part of the configuration.  This is not the right reason.

B)The total number of electrons is incorrect.  This correct, the number of electrons is 9 instead of 10.

C)The 2s orbital does not have enough electrons.  This option is correct, 2s must have 2 electrons and it only has 1.

D) The 1s orbital does not have enough electrons. This option is incorrect, 1s orbital can have only 2 electrons.

2. Water can be understood as both yin and yang. Challenge: how many ways can you explain why ?
GuDViN [60]

Water can be understood as both yin and yang. The number of ways Yin and Yang can be explained is in numerous ways.

Yin and Yang explain how to exist in harmony and in balance with nature. Yin and Yang are not distinct entities, but rather two extremes of a spectrum. Everything Yin includes a trace of Yang. Also, everything Yang contains a trace of Yin. They are always in connection with one another.

The yin is the physical aspect of nature and the yang is the forces surrounding these physical aspects.

Some of the ways in which Yin and Yang can be explained are as follows:

  • Yin and Yang can be explained from the water, whereby the water is the Yin while the wind carrying the water waves is known as the Yang.

  • In the body, the Yin shows the anatomy and structure of the body while the Yang explains the psychological functioning of the body.

Disruption in either Yin or Yang can cause an imbalance in nature.

Therefore, we can conclude that the number of ways in which we can explain the Yin and the Yang is numerous.
