The electronic configuration of an element with atomic number (Z = 11) is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1. The symbol of the element is:
Li
Cs
Rb
Na
The atomic number of sodium (Na) is 11. So its electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.
The electronic configuration of an element Z is 2, 8, 8. (a) What is the atomic number of the element? (b) State whether element Z is a metal or non-metal. (c) What type of ion (if any) will be formed by an atom of element Z? Why? (d) What is special about the outermost electron shell of the atom of this element? (e) Give the name and symbol of element Z. (f) Name the group of elements to which Z belongs.
An element 'Z' has the electronic configuration 2, 8. Name the element 'Z' and determine its atomic number.
