Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) The outermost energy shell in an atom can have a maximum of eight electrons
(b) According to Thomson's model of an atoms all the protons in an atom are present in the positively charged sphere while negatively charged elctrons are studded in this sphere .Since the electrons and protons are equal in number each carrying one unit charge the atom as a whole is electrically neutral
(c ) Hydrogen atom has no neutron
(d) No isolars belongs to different elements since they differ in their atomic number
(e ) The electronic configuration of the element is K(2)L(8) M(5).
