So I haven’t got time to answer all of it for you but the id you look at the picture of the periodic table I’ve added the top number in the red boxes are the groups and the period is how many elements down from the top it is (remember that the hydrogen and helium make up period ONE) so remember to include them when counting the elements as you go down the table
Shifting plates, underwater volcanoes. many different variables come in play
Answer:
[Ne] 3s2 3p2
Explanation:
Neon (Ne) is the noble gas right before silicon (Si).
Then right after neon is the 3s subshell. It has two electrons and is full.
After 3s comes the 3p subshell, and silicon only has two electrons in the 3p subshell (you can just count the electrons in each subshell on your periodic table).
