Give electron configurations for atoms of these elements: na, s, mg, ne, and k.

Answer :

The electronic configuration of sodium atom is,

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

Explanation :

Electronic configuration : It is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.  

Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

(a) The given atom is, sodium (Na)

Atomic number of Na = 11

Number of electrons = 11

The electronic configuration of sodium atom is,

(b) The given atom is, sulfur (S)

Atomic number of S = 16

Number of electrons = 16

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

(c) The given atom is, magnesium (Mg)

Atomic number of Mg = 12

Number of electrons = 12

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

(d) The given atom is, neon (Ne)

Atomic number of Ne = 10

Number of electrons = 10

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

(e) The given atom is, potassium (K)

Atomic number of K = 19

Number of electrons = 19

The electronic configuration of sulfur atom is,

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
