The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( x \) in the ion representation \( A^{(x +)} \) for the element A, which has an atomic mass of 27 and an atomic number of 13. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Element**: - The atomic number of the element A is 13. This means it has 13 protons in its nucleus. 2. **Determine the Electronic Configuration**: - The electronic configuration of an element is determined by distributing its electrons in various shells. - For atomic number 13, the distribution of electrons is as follows: - K shell: 2 electrons - L shell: 8 electrons - M shell: 3 electrons - Therefore, the electronic configuration of element A is \( 2, 8, 3 \). 3. **Identify Valence Electrons**: - The valence shell for element A is the M shell, which contains 3 electrons. Thus, A has 3 valence electrons. 4. **Determine Ion Formation**: - Since element A has 3 valence electrons, it can achieve a stable electronic configuration (octet) by losing these 3 electrons. - When it loses 3 electrons, it becomes a cation (positively charged ion). 5. **Determine the Charge of the Ion**: - The loss of 3 electrons results in a charge of \( +3 \) on the ion. - Therefore, the ion can be represented as \( A^{(3+)} \). 6. **Conclusion**: - The value of \( x \) in \( A^{(x +)} \) is 3. ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is 3. ---
