<span>The region(s) of the periodic table which are
made up of elements that can adopt both positive and negative oxidation numbers
are the “non-metal” region. As we can see on the periodic table, the elements situated
at the right side of the table have two oxidation states, one positive and the
other a negative. </span>
Oxygen and neon are both elements. Oxygen has 8 electrons and 8 protons. Neon has 10 electrons and 10 protons. Oxygen is also a non-metal element and Neon is a noble gas.
Because in SI, the expectation is that area and volume will be expressed in terms of a linear dimension( the metre) or its multiples.
A ground state electron configuration follows the Aufbau Principle that states that electrons should be filled up in orbitals in increasing energy. In the given sequences, the right configuration is
<span>1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d8.
2) the possible confirmation that follows Aufbau's principle is
D. </span><span>-[Kr] 5s24d105p3</span>
