Which of the following statements are true?

The element with a ground state electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s2 is an alkaline earth metal.

The ground state electron configuration for the undiscovered element 115 is [Rn]7s25f146d107p3.

The element with a ground state electron configuration of [Kr]5s24d105p5 has 15 valence electrons.

The ground state electron configuration for Cu is [Ar]4s13d10.

The electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s23p64s13d8 is an excited state electron configuration for Ni.

If an element (abbreviated X) has a ground state electron configuration of [Ne]3s23p4, then the formula of the compound that X forms with sodium is Na2X.

Explanation / Answer

The element with a ground state electron configuration of 1s22s22p63s2 is an alkaline earth metal.

Mg = 12   1s22s22p63s2

The ground state electron configuration for the undiscovered element 115 is [Rn]7s25f146d107p3.

The ground state electron configuration for Cu is [Ar]4s13d10.

If an element (abbreviated X) has a ground state electron configuration of [Ne]3s23p4, then the formula of the compound that X forms with sodium is Na2X.

    Na+ X-2

Na2X
