### Question 41**Which one of the atoms shown would be most likely to form a cation with a charge of +1?**This question presents four diagrams, each depicting an atom with its respective electron configuration within their shells. The goal is to determine which atom is most likely to form a cation with a charge of +1.#### Analyzing the Diagrams:1. **First Diagram (Option 1):** The atom has a nucleus and three electrons in its outer shell. 2. **Second Diagram (Option 2):** The atom has a nucleus and one electron in its outer shell.3. **Third Diagram (Option 3):** The atom has a nucleus and four electrons in its outer shell.4. **Fourth Diagram (Option 4):** The atom has a nucleus and three electrons in its outer shell.**Explanation:**An atom that forms a cation with a charge of +1 typically has one electron in its outermost shell. Losing this one electron will result in a stable, positively charged ion. **Answer:**The atom shown in the second diagram is most likely to form a cation with a charge of +1, as it has a single electron in its outer shell.

Electrons are filled in a different atomic orbital in an atom. According to the Aufbau rule, the…
