Explanation:
The cell reaction properly written is shown below:
Cu|Cu²⁺ || Ag⁺
| Ag
From this cell reaction, to get the net ionic equation, we have to split the reaction into their proper oxidation and reduction halves. This way, we can know that is happening at the electrodes and derive the overall net equation.
Oxidation half:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
At the anode, oxidation occurs.
Reduction half:
Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Ag
At the cathode, reduction occurs.
To derive the overall reaction, we must balance the atoms and charges:
Cu ⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻
Ag⁺ + e⁻ ⇄ Ag
we multiply the second reaction by 2 to balance up:
2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag
The net reaction equation:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
+ 2e⁻⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2e⁻ + 2Ag
We then cancel out the electrons from both sides since they appear on both the reactant and product side:
Cu + 2Ag⁺
⇄ Cu²⁺
+ 2Ag

Explanation:
The electron configuration is the distribution of the electrons in the sublevels in order of the crescent energy of them. The crescent energy of the sublevels follows the Linus Pauling's diagram, which is attached below. The sublevel "s" comports until 2 electrons, the sublevel "p" until 6 electrons, the sublevel "d" until 10 electrons, and sublevel "f" until 14 electrons.
So, for the element with an atomic number of 113, the neutral atom will have 113 electrons:
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7p¹
Thus the element is at the 7 period (the highest level), and group 13 (most energic sublevel p with 1 electron), the group of the aluminum. It needs to lose 3 electrons to be stable and follow the octet rule, but the subshells of the last shell are too far away in energetic order, thus, it most probably to lose the electron of 7p and form a monovalent cation, and can lose the two electrons of 7s to form a trivalent cation:
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶7s²5f¹⁴6d¹⁰
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p⁶5f¹⁴6d¹⁰
