JulijaS [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)

1s2 -> He....

2s2 -> Be....

2p6 -> Ne...

3s2 -> Mg...

3p6 -> Ar...

4s2 -> Ca.

Sodium forms a 1+ ion, while fluorine forms a 1-lon. Write the electron configuration for each ion. Why don't these two elements
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given elements:

    Sodium

    Fluorine

The ion Na⁺ is made up of 10 electrons, its electronic configuration is:

            1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Ion F⁻ is made up of 10 electrons, its electronic configuration is:

           1s² 2s² 2p⁶

These ions do not form +2 because they cannot attain stability by losing or gaining two electrons.

Sodium atom is made up of one valence electron. If it loses one electron, it will be isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, to attain stability, it must gain one electron to form an octet. This way it will be isoelectronic with Neon.

Losing or gaining two electrons will not make the elements attain stability.

E= (231 aj/pm) (-2)(2)/77+140 Pm

E= 231 aj (-4)/217

E= -868 aj/ 217

E= -4aj
