Answer:   Iodine

Explanation:  Cesium is the alkali metal which belongs to the group 1 of the periodic table.

Iodine is the Group 17 element which are known as the Halogens as they are the group of the most electronegative atoms.

Zinc belongs to the Transition metal d block .

Xenon belongs to the Group 18 of noble gases.

The electronic configuration will help us to determine which can gain electron to have a full outermost shell.

Cesium (Cs) = [Xe] 6s1

Zinc (Zn) = [Ar] 3d10 4s2

Iodine(I) =  [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5

Xenon (Xe) = Kr 4d10 5s2 5p6

Thus Iodine can easily gain one electron to have complete outermost shell.

Iodine has 7 valence electrons. It needs therefore only 1 electron to be stable this is why it is so reactive.

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

       ₂₂Ti

        ₂₃V¹⁺

        ₂₄Cr²⁺
