The combinations of Strontium and chlorine that are possible are only those in which strontium and chlorine combine in the ratio of 1:2.
1) The possible combinations are
- 4 strontium atoms and 8 chlorine
strontium atoms and
chlorine atoms
2) The combinations that are not possible are
- 20 strontium atoms and 60 chlorine atoms
- 130 billion strontium atoms and 195 billion chlorine
We have to work out the ratio of Strontium and chlorine in each of the given combinations in the question. Only the combinations in which the ratio of Strontium and chlorine is 1:2 is possible.
First case:
4 strontium atoms and 8 chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:2 so it is possible.
Second case:
20 strontium atoms and 60 chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:3 hence it is not possible.
Third case:
strontium atoms and
chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:2 hence it is possible.
Fourth case:
130 billion strontium atoms and 195 billion chlorine atoms gives a Strontium and chlorine ratio of 1:1.5 hence it is not possible.

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
Answer:- oxygen.
Explanations:- The electronic configuration is given and we are asked to figure out the electrically neutral atom that will have the electron configuration,
.
The sum of electrons for this electron configuration is 8. If we look at the periodic table then 8 is the atomic number of oxygen.
So, the electrically neutral atom for the given electron configuration is oxygen.
