Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The expected electronic configuration and oxidation state for the element $113$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Loss of electrons in an atom is described by oxidation state. The element $113$ is a solid element that contains $113$ electrons and protons.

The valence electron configuration of group $3\text{A}$ element is $n{s}^{2}n{p}^1$.

To determine: The expected electronic configuration and oxidation state for the element $113$.
