Assuming the metals lose all their valence electrons and the nonmetals gain electrons to complete the s-p subshells, which listing below shows the correct information for the element? elements electron structure of atom electron structure of ion net ion charge: 1. sodium 1s22s22p63s1 1s22s22p6 -12. fluorine 1s22s22p4 1s22s22p6 -13. aluminum 1s22s22p63s23p1 1s22s22p6 +3a. the listing for sodium is correct. b. the listing for fluorine is correct. c. the listing for aluminum is correct. d. none of these

Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of sodium is 11 and its electronic configuration is . When sodium loses one electron then it will attain +1 charge and its electronic configuration will be as follows.

:

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is . When fluorine gains an electron then it acquires -1 charge and its electronic configuration is as follows.

:

Atomic number of aluminium is 13 and its electronic configuration is . When aluminium loses its valence electrons then it acquires +3 charge and its electronic configuration is as follows.

:

Thus, we can conclude that the listing for aluminum is correct.
