The correct Answer is:
To determine which actinoids show oxidation states up to +7, we will analyze the oxidation states of the given actinoids: Americium (Am), Plutonium (Pu), Uranium (U), and Neptunium (Np). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Actinoids and Their Atomic Numbers:** - Americium (Am) - Atomic number 95 - Plutonium (Pu) - Atomic number 94 - Uranium (U) - Atomic number 92 - Neptunium (Np) - Atomic number 93 2. **Write the Electronic Configurations:** - Americium (Am): [Rn] 5f^7 6d^0 7s^2 - Plutonium (Pu): [Rn] 5f^6 6d^0 7s^2 - Uranium (U): [Rn] 5f^3 6d^1 7s^2 - Neptunium (Np): [Rn] 5f^4 6d^1 7s^2 3. **Determine the Oxidation States of Each Actinoid:** - **Americium (Am):** Shows oxidation states of +3, +4, +5, and +6. It does not show +7. - **Plutonium (Pu):** Shows oxidation states of +3, +4, +5, +6, and +7. It does show +7. - **Uranium (U):** Shows oxidation states of +3, +4, +5, and +6. It does not show +7. - **Neptunium (Np):** Shows oxidation states of +3, +4, +5, +6, and +7. It does show +7. 4. **Conclusion:** - The actinoids that show oxidation states up to +7 are Plutonium (Pu) and Neptunium (Np). ### Final Answer: The actinoids that show oxidation states up to +7 are **Plutonium (Pu) and Neptunium (Np).** ---
