? Question
You may have observed that several of the elements with electron configurations different from the expected pattern are
in period 5 of the periodic table. What is a valid inference you could make from this observation?
Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu to complete the inference.
Electrons in the 5s sublevel and the 4d sublevel have very

Subr different

Answer 1

similar, energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it right. also they are next to each other on the periodic table

Answer 2

Answer: similar, energy

Explanation: (edmentum answer) Several of the elements in period 5 have electron configurations with only one electron in the 5s sublevel. That suggests that the next sublevel that electrons typically fill, 4d, is not much higher in energy.
