The number of s-electrons present in an ion with 5555 protons in its unipositive state is

Options

  1. A88
  2. B99
  3. C1212
  4. D1010

Correct answer

D. 1010

Step-by-step solution

The atom with 55 protons is caesium(Cs). The electronic configuration of Cs is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d105p66s11{s}^{2}2{s}^{2}2{p}^{6}3{s}^{2}3{p}^{6}4{s}^{2}3{d}^{10}4{p}^{6}5{s}^{2}4{d}^{10}5{p}^{6}6{s}^{1}.

The mono positive ion means one electron is removed from outermost orbital. Hence, the sum of electrons in 1s,2s,3s,4s,5s1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s orbitals are1010.
