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

<h3>What are models?</h3>

A model is a miniature depiction of reality. Molecular models often consists of boxes that contain balls which are used to represent elements. In common parlance, the color is used to show the type of element.

Apart from the color, the size of the atoms a and the number of holes in the atoms can be used to decode the element.

What does it mean for the energy levels in an atom to be quantized? Describe how this affects where electrons can be found
marta [7]
When we describe the energy of a particle as quantized, we mean that only certain values of energy are allowed. ... In this case, whenever we measure the particle's energy, we will find one of those values. If the particle is measured to have 4 Joules of energy, we also know how much energy the particle can gain or lose. Quantized energy means that the electrons can possess only certain discrete energy values; values between those quantized values are not permitted

A beaker containing 6.32 moles of PBr3, contains___
NISA [10]

Answer:

3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles  = 6.32moles

Unknown:

Number of molecules  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles can be used to derive the number of molecules found within a substance.

Now,

       1 mole of substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ molecules

     6.32 mole of PBr₃ will contain 6.32 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 3.8 x 10²⁴molecules

What is produced in the electrolysis of brine?
ziro4ka [17]

High concentration of water and salt is the main ingredient of brine. Salt being NaCl and water make brain and important solution in making of chlorine.

Electric terminals are put inside the solutions and with the help of electric current the chemical properties of the solution are changed such that we get chlorine as outcome. This process is carried out in a large scale to get chlorine from NaCl in solution and is called electrolysis of Brine.
