### Electron Configuration Question#### Diagram ExplanationThe image shows five different electron configurations labeled A through E. Each configuration consists of a nucleus represented by a circle, surrounded by concentric circles indicating electron shells. The dots on these shells represent electrons.#### QuestionWhich of these shows the electron configuration of an element that has chemical properties most similar to those of chlorine (atomic number 17)?#### Options- ○ B- ○ A- ○ C- ○ E- ○ DTo determine which electron configuration resembles chlorine's, note that chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, making it part of the halogen group, which typically have 7 valence electrons.

Two sets of ionizations are shown in the tables below. Complete the tables by ordering each set of ionizations by increasing amount of energy required. In other words, for each set choose "1" next to the ionization that would require the least energy, "2" next to the ionization that would require the next least energy, and so on. ionization + F → F + e + Bi → Bi + e Te → Te + e energy required ? ? ? î ↑ ŷ ionization + PbPb te + CI + e Cl → Cl Sb Sb + e X energy required ? ? ?
