The  electronic  configuration  of  a   chlorine ion  in BeCl2  compound is

[2.8.8]^-  (answer  B)

chlorine  atom  gain  on electron form Be to  form  chloride ions
chlorine  atom  has  a  electronic   configuration of  2.8.7   and  it  gains one  electron  to  form  chloride ion  with  2.8.8  electronic  configuration

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in the outermost shell. when it forms an ionic bond with Be, it takes in 1 electron and achieves the noble gas configuration
since it has one more electron it gains a negative charge of -1.
anion is then - Cl⁻
electronic configuration of Cl atom is - [2,8,7]
after taking in the electron Cl⁻ - [2,8.8]⁻
answer is 
<span>B. [2.8.8]</span>⁻

What is the identity of the element which had the following electron configuration? 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^5 ​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The element with electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^5 ​ is manganese (25Mn).

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The element with electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^5 ​

has 25 electrons.

This element has 2 electrons on the first shell, 8 electrons on the second shell, 13 electrons on the third shell and 2 electrons on the outer shell (valence electrons).

This means this element is part of group VII.

The element with 25 electrons, we can find on the periodic table, with atomic number 25.

The element with electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^5 ​ is manganese (25Mn).
