Which element does the electron configuration 1s22s22p2 represent? B C N K

Chemistry

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

the electronic configuration corresponds to the number of electrons that an atom of an element has and these are compensated with the number of protons in the nucleus of the element, therefore the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons in the orbitals.

The number of protons in the nucleus corresponds to the number Z, this is what allows us to differentiate between one element and another  

1s^2 2s^22p^2

We add the electrons

2+2+2=6

The number of electrons is 6 that matches the number of protons (which is the number Z)

We look for in the periodic table the element Z = 6 (atomic number)

The element that corresponds to this number is carbon

The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2, then the number of electrons is 2 + 2 + 2 = 6. The number of electrons equals the number of protons and this is the atomic number. So, the atomic number of the element is 6.<span> In a periodic table you can find that the element with atomic number 6 is carbon. So the answer is C.</span>

Part 1: name two elements that have the same properties as sodium (na). (4 points) part 2: determine the number of protons, elec
Maslowich

  • Part 1: Two elements with the same properties as Sodium(Na) are Lithium(Li) and Potassium(K).
  • Part 2: Calcium(Ca) has 20 protons, 20 electrons and 20 neutrons.

  • Elements that have the same properties ( physical and chemical ) are usually found on the same group. A group ( also called family ) in chemistry, means a column or a vertical line of elements in the periodic table of elements. Elements in the same group are similar because they have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell. The two most common elements found in the same group as Sodium(Na) are Lithium(Li) and Potassium(K). All three elements are in Group 1, have 1 electron in their outermost shell and are highly electropositive.

  • The number of protons in any atom is always equal to the atomic number of that element, usually denoted by the letter Z. From the periodic table of elements, The atomic number of Calcium(Ca) is 20, so the number of protons will be 20. The number of electrons in any given atom is also equal to the number of protons in that atom, therefore the number of electrons in Calcium(Ca) is also 20. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass as;                                                                       Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons         Calcium(Ca) has an atomic mass of 40, so it's number of neutrons will be;                                                                                                         40 - 20 = 20 neutrons                                                                   Hence, Calcium(Ca) has 20 protons, 20 electrons, and 20     neutrons.
