Question

An element with configuration 1 s2, 2 s2 2 p6, 3 s2 3 p5 will form a compound of highest ionic character with the element having configuration (A) 1 s2 2 s2 2 p6 (B) [A r] 4 s3 ⋅ 3 d10 (C) [ Ar ] 4 s1 (D) 1 s2, 2 s1

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The electronic configuration of chlorine is

1 s^{2} 2, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2}, 3 p^{5}

It is a halogen. It will formal a compound of highest ionic character with alkali metals of

^{\circ}

size.
In all of the given electronic configurations, [Ar]

4 s^{1}

(i.e., potassium) is the configuration of an alkali metal of comparable size.

Q. An element with configuration $1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2} 3 p^{5}$ will form a compound of highest ionic character with the element having configuration

$1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}$

$[A r] 4 s^{3} \cdot 3 d^{10}$

$[A r] 4 s^{1}$

$1 s^{2}, 2 s^{1}$

Q. An element with configuration 1s2,2s22p6,3s23p5 will form a compound of highest ionic character with the element having configuration

1s22s22p6

[Ar]4s3⋅3d10

[Ar]4s1

1s2,2s1

The electronic configuration of chlorine is 1s22,2s22p6,3s2,3p5 It is a halogen. It will formal a compound of highest ionic character with alkali metals of ∘ size. In all of the given electronic configurations, [Ar] 4s1 (i.e., potassium) is the configuration of an alkali metal of comparable size.

Q. An element with configuration $1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}, 3 s^{2} 3 p^{5}$ will form a compound of highest ionic character with the element having configuration

$1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}$

$[A r] 4 s^{3} \cdot 3 d^{10}$

$[A r] 4 s^{1}$

$1 s^{2}, 2 s^{1}$
