AI Generated Solution

To determine whether element A is a metal or a non-metal based on the information given, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electron Configuration Element A has 2 electrons in its fourth shell. The electron configuration of an element describes how electrons are distributed in its atomic orbitals. ### Step 2: Determine the Total Number of Electrons Since the fourth shell has 2 electrons, we need to consider the total number of electrons in the previous shells as well. The first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second shell can hold 8 electrons, and the third shell can also hold 8 electrons. ...
