Chapter 4, Problem 66E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Four species that would be having the given electronic configuration are to be stated.

Concept introduction: The atomic number of an element is equal to the electrons present in its atom. An atom can lose or gain electrons in order to achieve a stable electronic configuration. The loss of electrons gives a positive charge, whereas the gain of electrons gives a negative charge.

To determine: Four species corresponding to the given electronic configuration, theoretically.
