A neutral atom has the following characteristics: - it has 10 valence electrons - it's a transition metal - the highest quantum level occupied is n = 4 What is the identity of this atom? Enter either the element name or symbol

Solutions

Expert Solution

Valence electron = Outermost shell electron

Nickel ( Ni) = [Ar] 3d8 4s2

It contain 8 valence electron in 3d subshell and 2 valence electron in 4s subshell. ( total valence electron = 8+ 2 = 10)

4S will have prinicipal quantum no. ( n=4 ).

so answer will be Nickel ( Ni)
