QUESTION:
Give the symbol of the element that meets the following conditions:a. has five electrons in the 3p sublevelb. has three 2p electronsc. completes the 3s subleveld. has four 5p electrons
ANSWER:Solution 54QPStep 1 of 1:The goal of the problem is to give the symbol of the element that meets the given conditions.a. Given: has five electrons in the 3p sublevelThe electronic configuration for the above condition will be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. We see that there is a total of 17 electrons. The element with atomic number 17 is Chlorine (Cl). Hence, the element that has 5 electrons in the 3p sublevel is Cl._______________
