Question

The formula of the carbonate of the element having electronic configuration 2,8,2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the element be M, since it will donate 2 of its valence electron it will form M2+ which when combined with C03-2 will form MCO3

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the element be x and it will give 2 electron as it has 2 electron in its valence shell so it for X2+ and it will combine with carbonate Co3 -² and forms XCO3
