Answer:
The answer to the following questions are:
(a) The element with atomic number 29 is Copper (Cu).
- Its ground state electronic configuration is:
Cu (29) = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶,3s², 3p⁶, 4s¹, 3d¹⁰
- In +2 oxidation state, the ion is Cu²⁺.
- Its electronic configuration is:
Cu²⁺ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁹
(b) Yes, this element, i.e., Copper can show variable valency.
- Copper is a transition element and hence it exhibits variable valency.
- Cu can show two valencies namely +1 and +2.
- Cu can only show two valencies because it has too much d electrons and hence fewer orbitals for the sharing of electrons.

Cu has atomic number 29.
- a)Cu is a transition element of 3d group.
- It has an electronic configuration as follows-
- b) Yes, this element can show variable valency. It can remove its two electrons from the 4s orbital and can show +2 valency. Again it can transfer its electron to 3d orbital to compete for the octet and show +1 valency.
- c) When Cu+2 reacts with chlorine copper chloride is formed.
