Explanations:- Part 1: We could count the total number of electrons by looking at the electron configurations. Both of these electrons configurations have 47 electrons. If we look at the periodic table then 47 is the atomic number of silver. So, the name of the element is silver and its represented as Ag.
Part 2: As per the rule, Completely filled and half filled orbitals are more stable. First electron configuration has 9 electrons in 4d and we know that d is more stable if it has 5 electrons(half filled) or it has 10 electrons(full filled).
For stability reasons, one of the electron from 5s goes to 4d and for this reason the second electron configuration is found most often in nature for silver.
Few other examples are Cr and Cu.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
I guess it's a, because nuclear decay is likely to occur when either the mass or atomic number is greater than 83.
44. (a) N2O3 (b) SF4 (c) AlCl3 (d) Li2CO3
46. H Br
δ+ δ−
48. The metallic potassium atoms lose one electron and form +1 cations,
and the nonmetallic fluorine atoms gain one electron and form –1 anions.
K → K+

9p/10e–
The ionic bonds are the attractions between K+
cations and F–
anions.

52. (a) covalent…nonmetal-nonmetal (b) ionic…metal-nonmetal
54. (a) all nonmetallic atoms - molecular (b) metal-nonmetal - ionic
56. (a) 7 (b) 4
58. Each of the following answers is based on the assumption that nonmetallic
atoms tend to form covalent bonds in order to get an octet (8) of
electrons around each atom, like the very stable noble gases (other than
helium). Covalent bonds (represented by lines in Lewis structures) and lone
pairs each contribute two electrons to the octet.
(a) oxygen, O
If oxygen atoms form two covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Water is an example:
H O H
(b) fluorine, F
If fluorine atoms form one covalent bond, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, is an example:
H F
(c) carbon, C
If carbon atoms form four covalent bonds, they will have an octet of electrons
around them. Methane, CH4, is an example:
H H

(d) phosphorus, P
If phosphorus atoms form three covalent bonds, they will have an octet
