An element ‘X’ contains 6 electrons in ‘M’ shell as valence electrons:
- What is the atomic number of ‘X’?
- Identify whether ‘X’ is a metal or non-metal.
Answer:
- If‘X’ contains 6 electrons in ‘M’ shell as valence electrons, then the electronic configuration of‘X’
is K = 2, L = 8, M = 6
Atomic number = 16 - ‘X’ is a non-metal
