The correct option is "Cd²⁺".

When an element achieves pseudo noble gas configuration<span> it means it has 18 </span>electrons<span> in the highest energy level instead of 8.

The electronic configuration of cadmium is:
</span><span>1<span>s</span></span>² <span>2<span>s</span></span>² <span>2<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>3<span>s</span></span>² <span>3<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>4<span>s</span></span>² <span>3<span>d</span></span>¹⁰ <span>4<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>5<span>s</span></span>² <span>4<span>d<span>1</span></span></span>¹⁰<span><span><span>
</span></span></span>

and the electron configuration of <span>C<span>d</span></span>²⁺ is

<span>1<span>s</span></span>² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.

How do oceanographers define salinity?
Studentka2010 [4]

The oceanographers define salinity by the number of grams of salt per kilogram of water.  

Salinity is illustrated as how much salt is present in the given amount of water. It is dependent upon how much salt is found in the ocean in the specific regions. If there is a sunny environment, it may evaporate an ample amount of water, and leave behind a lot of salt, thus, the water has more salinity.  

The salinity of the ocean is usually measured in Practical Salinity Unit (PSU), it is a unit based on the characteristics of seawater conductivity.

What happens to the ions when the drain is turned off? please help :] ❤️
kkurt [141]

Answer:

In a long channel MOSFET, the width of the pinch-off region is assumed small relative to the length of the channel. Thus, neither the length nor the voltage across the inversion layer change beyond the pinch-off, resulting in a drain current independent of drain bias. Consequently, the drain current saturates.
