answer : the correct option is, (B) 2, 3 and 6.
Answer:
Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶
Explanation:
Calcium belong to group IIA and known as alkaline earth metals.
- it have two electrons in outer most orbital.
- these outer two electrons are involve in bonding
- calcium lose these two electron and form cation
- cation have 2+ charge
- calcium have total twenty electrons
Electronic Configuration of calcium atom: ²⁰Ca
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s²
When calcium ion is form it loses two electron and have 2+ charge on it.
and have total of 18 electrons
So,
Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺
the last filled orbital will be 3p⁶
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶
C. Move one electron from sodium to fluorine, because the element with the smallest amount of valence electrons is the one that give away the electrons, it is easier to add one to seven than it is to add 7 to one. I just learned this in physics, hope it helps! If you need more explaining I can do that.
