The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of elements from the given list that have only a single oxidation state (other than zero) in their corresponding stable compounds, we will analyze each element one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Cesium (Cs)**: - Cesium is in Group 1 (alkali metals) and has an electronic configuration of [Xe] 6s¹. - It loses one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +1 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 2. **Barium (Ba)**: - Barium is in Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) with an electronic configuration of [Xe] 6s². - It loses two electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +2 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 3. **Fluorine (F)**: - Fluorine is in Group 17 (halogens) with an electronic configuration of [He] 2s² 2p⁵. - It gains one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: -1 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 4. **Zinc (Zn)**: - Zinc is a transition metal with an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s². - It loses two electrons to achieve a stable configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +2 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 5. **Beryllium (Be)**: - Beryllium is in Group 2 with an electronic configuration of [He] 2s². - It loses two electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +2 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 6. **Aluminum (Al)**: - Aluminum is in Group 13 with an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p¹. - It loses three electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +3 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 7. **Strontium (Sr)**: - Strontium is in Group 2 with an electronic configuration of [Kr] 5s². - It loses two electrons to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +2 (only one oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Included. 8. **Gallium (Ga)**: - Gallium is in Group 13 with an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p¹. - It can show +1 and +3 oxidation states due to the inert pair effect. - **Oxidation States**: +1, +3 (not a single oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Not included. 9. **Lead (Pb)**: - Lead is in Group 14 with an electronic configuration of [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p². - It can show +2 and +4 oxidation states due to the inert pair effect. - **Oxidation States**: +2, +4 (not a single oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Not included. ### Final Count: The elements that have only a single oxidation state (other than zero) are: - Cs (+1) - Ba (+2) - F (-1) - Zn (+2) - Be (+2) - Al (+3) - Sr (+2) Thus, the total number of elements with a single oxidation state is **7**.

To determine the total number of elements from the given list that have only a single oxidation state (other than zero) in their corresponding stable compounds, we will analyze each element one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Cesium (Cs)**: - Cesium is in Group 1 (alkali metals) and has an electronic configuration of [Xe] 6s¹. - It loses one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. - **Oxidation State**: +1 (only one oxidation state). ...
