<u>Answer:</u> The electronic configuration of the elements are written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.
For the given options:
- <u>Option a:</u> Carbon (C)
Carbon is the 6th element of the periodic table. The number of electrons in carbon atom are 6.
The electronic configuration of carbon is 
- <u>Option b:</u> Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus is the 15th element of the periodic table. The number of electrons in phosphorus atom are 15.
The electronic configuration of phosphorus is 
- <u>Option c:</u> Vanadium (V)
Vanadium is the 23rd element of the periodic table. The number of electrons in vanadium atom are 23.
The electronic configuration of vanadium is 
- <u>Option d:</u> Antimony (Sb)
Antimony is the 51st element of the periodic table. The number of electrons in antimony atom are 51.
The electronic configuration of antimony is 
- <u>Option e:</u> Samarium (Sm)
Samarium is the 62nd element of the periodic table. The number of electrons in samarium atom are 62.
The electronic configuration of samarium is 
Hence, the electronic configuration of the elements are written above.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The law of included fragments states: Fragments found in a rock must be older than the rock itself.
The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.
The atomic number,atomic mass,valence electrons and the formula for calculating the number of neutrons is also given.The following table has been completed below in the attachment.
Explanation:
Atomic Number:the number of protons /electrons present in the nucleus of an atom is called the atomic number.
Mass Number/Atomic Mass:the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus
<u>Example:</u>
;here;6 implies the atomic number and 12 implies the mass number/atomic mass
<u><em>No.of neutrons=Mass number-Number of protons</em></u>
Valence electrons:the number of electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom are called valence electrons
<u>Example:</u>If we consider a carbon atom;as its <em>e</em><em>lectronic configuration is2,4 and</em> it belongs to 4th group.Therefore the number of valency electrons in carbon is <u>4.</u>
