Question

Enter the type of subshell affected by the gain or loss of electrons. Do not enter the specific subshell. For example: If electrons are added to the 3 p subshell, enter p. If electrons are lost from the 4s and 3d subshells, enter s + d. If an element with the valence configuration 4s^1 3d^10 loses 1 electron(s), these electron(s) would be removed from the subshell(s). An element with the valence electron configuration 4s^2 4p^4 would form a monatomic ion with a charge of In order to form this ion, the element will (lose/gain) electron(s) from/into the subshell(s).

Explanation / Answer

A. If element with valence configuration 4s13d10 loses 1 electron these electron would remove from s subshell.

According to electronic configuration of element 3d subshell is filled comletly and 4s subshell is incompletly filled that mean 4s subshell have high energy than 3d subshell therefore electron lose from 4s subshell.

B. element with valence electronic configuration 4s24p4 would form monoatomic ion with charge of 2- in order to form this ion element will gain 2 electron into the p subshell.

because after gaining 2 electron in 4p subshell monoatomic gas complete octate and occupy stable configuration
