Question

Identify the atom with the ground-state electron configuration shown for its valence shell.42310

Answer 1

Answer: Zinc (Zn)

Explanations :

Zn( has a valence shell configuration of 42310.

• The first two electrons go into the the 1s 2 electrons total

,

• The next two electrons go into the 2s 4 electrons total

,

• The next 10 electron go into the 3d
