Hey there!
3d band can hold as many as 10 electrons, while 4s can bear as many as two electrons.
The maximum number of electrons for this composite band should be 12 electrons.
Hope that helps!
Hey bud !
You were close congrats !
the only problem i saw was the units part at the end.
remember volume is 3 dimensional
length width and height
so it is m^3
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />
The answer is correct orientation and sufficient energy. Answer choice D
a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.
b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.
c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.
hope this helps! :)
