<u>Answer: </u>The chemical symbol of the element is Sulfur.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The element which is present in third period of the periodic table having four 3p electrons is Sulfur. Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table which has 6 valance electrons.
The electronic configuration of this element is:
This element is considered as a non-metal because it will accept electrons in order to attain stable electronic configuration.
Hence, the chemical symbol of the element is Sulfur.

<h3>Explanation</h3>There are two electrodes in a voltaic cell. Which one is the anode?
The lithium atom used to have no oxygen atoms when it was on the reactant side. It gains two oxygen atoms after the reaction. It has gained more oxygen atoms than the manganese atom. Gaining oxygen is oxidation. As a result, lithium is being oxidized.
Oxidation takes place at the anode of a cell. Therefore, the anode of this cell is made of lithium.
Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.94. Each gram of Li would contain 1/6.94 = 0.144 moles of Li atoms. Each Li atom loses one electron in this cell. Therefore, the number of electron transferred, <em>n</em>, equals 0.144 moles for each gram of the anode.
Let represents the electrical energy produced.
, where
- <em>n</em> is the <em>number of moles</em> electrons transferred,
- <em>F</em> is the Faraday's constant,
- <em>E</em>
is the cell potential,
<em>n </em>= 0.144 mol, as shown above, and
<em>F </em>= 96.486 kJ / ().
Therefore,
