Question
An element has its electron configuration as 2, 8, 2. Now answer the following question.
With which of the following elements would this element resemble?
(Atomic numbers are given in the brackets)
N(7), Be(4), Ar(18), Cl(17)
Solution
The element would resemble beryllium (Be).
Explanation:
The given element has an electron configuration of 2, 8, 2, indicating that it contains two electrons in its outermost shell. It resembles beryllium (Be), which likewise possesses two valence electrons. Elements with the same number of valence electrons have similar chemical characteristics. Thus, the provided element resembles beryllium.
