is the element Silicon.
The key to deciphering this is to look at the last bit of information of the electron configuration

.
The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.
The answer is Na-F. The F has highest electronegativity among these elements. So we need to find the element with smallest electronegativity. And this element is Na.
Hello!
The mass number in isotope notation is denoted A, the atomic number is denoted as Z, and the element is denoted as X.
In the given isotope, the mass of the isotope is 212 amu, and the atomic number is 82.
We know that the number of electrons, and protons are equal to the atomic number. Therefore, there are 82 protons. Also, to find the number of neutrons, we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
212 - 82 = 130 neutrons
<u>Final answers</u>:
- Atomic Number: 82
- Mass number: 212
- Number of Protons: 82
- Number of Neutrons: 130
C. low boiling points, since convalent bonds are comprise of two non metal elements, the have relatively low boiling points, since most of them are gases.
