Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Transition elements are the elements that have incompletely filled d-orbitals. Their general electronic configuration is ns (n-1)d.

For example, Ti has atomic number 22 and its electronic configuration is $[Ar]4s^{2}3d^{2}$ .

Due to similar energies in ns and (n-1)d orbitals electrons can be easily transferred. This causes transition metals to show variable oxidation states.

Thus, we can conclude that it is true regarding the transition elements that multiple oxidation states resulting from the involvement of d electrons in bonding is a characteristic of transition elements.

Where are the most reactive nonmetal elements found on the periodic table?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer is: group 17 on the periodic table.

Group 17 (halogens) elements are: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I).

They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.

Fluorine and chlorine are in gaseous state, bromine is liquid and iodine is in solid state in room temperature.

Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.

For example, fluorine has 9 electrons and it gain easily one electron in chemical reaction to have electron configuration like noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Explain the connection between atoms and electricity

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The protons and electrons of an atom are attracted to each other. They both carry an electrical charge. Protons have a positive charge (+) and electrons have a negative charge (-). The positive charge of the protons is equal to the negative charge of the electrons.
