How many electrons are there in n = 3(principle energy level) of the atom with atomic number 23

May someone me with these science questions

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.

A4.86 g piece of metal was placed in a graduated cylinder containing 15.5 ml of water. the water level rose to 17.3 ml. what is the density of the metal. i need the steps of how to solve it to so i can use a formula to work out other problems.
