Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is
The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.
In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.
Answer:
n = 3 to n = 5
Explanation:
According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.
We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.
Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

Covalent bonding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My science text book said that it was either diamond or gold. Gold may not be right, but I am pretty sure diamond is.
Sorry if I got this wrong.
