The atomic number of an element X is 16.(a) Write down the electronic configuration of X.(b) What will be the valency of X ?


Atomic No. of X = 16
(a) The electronic configuration of X is
K               L                      M
2               8                       6
(b) The outermost orbit has 6 electrons. In order to make it 8, X will have to gain 2 electrons. So, the valency of X is 2.
