Answer:

4s^2

Explanation:

Scandium is the first member of the first transition series having an atomic number of 21.

The ground state electron configuration of scandium is:;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2.

We can see from the electron configuration written above that the highest occupied energy sublevel for scandium is the 4s level having two electrons.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

choli [55]

Answer:

False

Table Salt or NaCl is composed of sodium and chlorine. While the individual elements of sodium and chlorine are very reactive, t
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Chlorine is more likely to steal a valence electron from sodium.

Explanation:

Sodium is number 11 on the periodic table with one valence electron. Belonging to the first group, it's one of the alkali metal, which are known to be highly reactive. Chlorine is number 17 with seven valence electrons, and it's in the second-to-last group of halogens--also very reactive.

Considering that elements with one valence electron are just about 100% likely to give up electrons to reach a stable state, sodium would be the element that is more likely to lose its valence electron to chlorine. In other words, chlorine would be the electron thief.
