Which two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties? (1) 1s22s22p4 (2) 1s22s22p5 (3

Anton [14]

Answer: Two electron configurations of elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4).

Explanation:

(1) $1s^22s^22p^4$

(2) $1s^22s^22p^5$

(3) $[Ar]4s^23d^5$

(4) $[Ar]4s^23d^{10}^4p^5$

Valence electrons : These are the electrons present in last principal quantum number of an atom of the element.

Two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4). This is because number of valence electrons present in both of them are same that is seven valence electrons . Also valence electrons of both the elements are present in p-orbital which means that they both belongs to same group in a periodic table. The members of same group in a periodic table have similar chemical properties.

What is the difference between ionic compund and covalent compound

sleet_krkn [62]

A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities.

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are "stronger" than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.
