The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5.
There are three energy levels in chlorine
First energy level is n=1 has 1s2 so total 2 electrons
Second energy level is n=2, 2s2 2p6 so total 2+6= 8 electrons
Third has 3s2 3p5 electrons just 7 total... p can contain 6 electrons but only 5 are present. So the third level has lesser number of electrons than that can be filled
Hi!
The correct option would be A.
This is because the displacement reaction would take place as follows
Ca + ZnCl2 --> CaCl2 + Zn
A displacement reaction is one in which a substitution occurs, as the more reactive element in the mixture replaces one that is less reactive.
In the electrochemical series, we find Ca higher than Zn, which is indicative of Ca being more reactive, and having the capacity to displace Zn to form a compound.
Option D would be incorrect as no such substitution occurs.
Option B would be incorrect because again, there is no substitution occurring, and also because two metals alone (Ca and Zn in our case) can never react to form a compound.
Option C would be incorrect because it is not possible because CaCl and ZnCl are forms that are too unstable to exist due to an overall positive charge.
Hope this helps!

</span><span> average reaction rate </span><span>= change in concentration / change in time
by putting values we have
= (1.00M - 0.987M) / (4.00s - 0.00s)
= 3.25x10^-3 mol/Lsec
this is our conclusion
hope this helps</span>
