1.6e-6 gl on the rest of your physics its a killer for me too
The atomic number of the atom is 13. This means that its electronic configuration is (2 8 3) or in other words:
1<span>s2, </span>2<span>s2, </span>2<span>p6, </span>3<span>s2, </span>3<span>p<span>1
If three electrons are lost, then these electrons are removed from the outermost level.
In our case, electrons are removed from the third energy level (one electron is removed from the 3p orbital and two electrons are removed from the 3s orbital).</span></span>
