Question

11. This metalloid has 6 valence electrons and 6 electron shells. I 12. This element has the same number of electrons as a Sulfur ion. SH 10:3 3/3 W​

Answer 1

Answer:

11. Polonium.

12. Argon.

Explanation:

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

11. Polonium: this metalloid has 6 valence electrons and 6 electron shells. It has 84 electrons with 6 shell structure 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 6.

Therefore, polonium has the following electronic configuration;

Polonium = 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s² 3p6 3d10 4s² 4p6 4d10 5s² 5p6 4f¹⁴ 5d10 6s² 6p⁴

12. Argon: this element has the same number of electrons as a Sulfur ion. It has 18 electrons.
