Question

₆C, ₃Li, ₉F, ₇N, ₈O Which of the above elements has the highest nonmetallic character? Write down the electronic configuration of the elements from the given atomic numbers. Answer the question with explanation

Answer 1

fluorine has highest non metallic character. 1)1s2 2s2 2p2 for carbon 2)1s2 2s1 3)1s2 2s2 2p5 4)1s2 2s2 2p3 5)1s2 2s2 2p4

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

₉F has the highest nonmetallic character.

● Explanation -

• As we know, non metallic character increases from left to right across a period.
• From given options, flourine is at most right of periodic table.
• Also it has the highest electronegativity.

Hence, it has highest nonmetallic character.

# Electronic configurations -

• ₃Li => 1s2 2s1
• ₆C => 1s2 2s2 2p2
• ₇N => 1s2 2s2 2p3
• ₈O=> 1s2 2s2 2p4
• ₉F => 1s2 2s2 2p5

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
