(a)
Interpretation:
The total number of electrons, valence electrons, group number, period and number of valence shell for carbon should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An atom is composed of three main sub-atomic particles; electrons, neutrons and protons. The
The distribution of electrons in an atom can be shown with the help of electronic configuration. The electronic configuration of an element represents the number of electrons in different energy levels of an element. The energy levels must be arranged in increasing order of their energy and can only accommodate a certain number of electrons as given:
(b)
Interpretation:
The total number of electrons, valence electrons, group number, period and number of valence shells for calcium should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
An atom is composed of three main sub-atomic particles; electrons, neutrons and protons. The atomic number of the elements represents the number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom. All known elements are arranged in a tabular form in increasing order of their atomic number that is called the periodic table.
