The answer would be none of the above
The answer is Al.
If it is a main group element with 3 electrons in its Lewis dot structure, it must be in group 3A. If it is in the 3p orbital section, then it must be in period 3, since the p orbital is a valence orbital and the number that preceeds it is the principal quantum number. Therefore, your answer is the element in period 3 and group 3A, which is aluminum.
Explanation:
Supposing we have to find the difference between the number of electrons in Selenium and Aluminium.
Well, electrons can be transformed to an atomic number, so if SE is 34, that means it has 34 electrons. AI has an atomic number of 13, which means it has 13 electrons. So the difference is that more electrons than AI are available from SE.
Because if they are submerged in the solvent, they would dissolve! This would prevent them from seperating and not allow you to actually record anything
The correct letter to your answer would be A
