1p is not possible because it goes like this 1s2 2s2 2p6
Four sodium ions and four chloride ions
Answer:
5. The valence electrons of both fluorine and carbon are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei but the greater positive charge of the fluorine nucleus attracts its valence electrons more strongly.
Explanation:
Both fluorine and carbon are located in the second period of the periodic table, it means that they have 2 shells, so the valence electrons are found at about the same distance from their respective nuclei.
But fluorine has a higher atomic number, 9, than the carbon, 6. The atomic number represents how many protons there are in the nucleus, then there are more protons (positive charge) at the fluorine nucleus, and because of that, the attraction force between the nucleus and the valence electron is stronger in fluorine.
If the force is stronger, it will be necessary more energy to break the bond, so it will be harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.
