B) The electronic configuration of an element X is 2,8,8,1. Without id

1.	B) The electronic configuration of an element X is 2,8,8,1. Without identifyingstatei. The charge on a simple ion of X ii. X is a oxidising or reducing agentand why?
Answer» Answer: (i) +1 (ii) reducing agent Explanation: i.the no. of electron in the VALANCE SHELL is ONE so it has loose 1 electron to attain octate so the CHARGE is +1. ii. since one electron is LOST it oxidises. so it is reducing agent.

Answer»

Answer:

(i) +1 (ii) reducing agent

Explanation:

i.the no. of electron in the VALANCE SHELL is ONE so it has loose 1 electron to attain octate so the CHARGE is +1.

ii. since one electron is LOST it oxidises.

so it is reducing agent.
