Question

metal organic electronic configuration 2, 8, 1 and maybe has 2, 8, 8, 2 which is more reactive identify these metal and give the reaction with Dil HCL

Answer 1

Heya user
Here is your answer !!

__________

Metal A has the electronic configuration 2 , 8 , 1 .
So this metal is Sodium ( Na ) .

Metal B has the electronic configuration 2 , 8 , 8 , 2 .
So this metal is Calcium ( Ca ) .

Sodium has one electron in its outermost shell whereas calcium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell .
There fore ,
It is easier for Sodium to lose its one valence electron than it is for calcium to lose its 2 valence Electrons .

So , sodium is more reactive than calcium .

2 Na + 2 HCl -----> 2 NaCl + H2 ( g )

and

Ca + 2 HCl -----> CaCl2 + H2 ( g )
