Question

Given below is a list of 5 elements whose Atomic Structure (Z) is given. From the given data do as directed
• Calculate the number of electrons and protons of each element respectively
• Write the EC (electronic configuration) of the elements
• Draw the diagrams of the atoms of the elements
• State whether they are metals, non-metals or noble gases from the EC
Element A -Z= 8
Element B- Z=12
Element C- Z=10
Element D- Z=11
Element E- Z=17

Answer 1

Answer:

A: Number: 8e 8p, EC: K2, L6, Non-Metal (Oxygen)

B: Number: 12e 12p, EC: K2, L8, M2, Metal (Magnesium)

C: Number: 10e 10p, EC: K2, L8, Non-Metal (Neon)

D: Number: 11e 11p, EC: K2, L8, M1, Metal (Sodium)

E: Number: 17e 17p, EC: K2, L8, M7, Non-Metal (Calcium)

Sorry for not sending the diagrams!
