MCQ
An ion which has $18$ electrons in the outermost shell is
  • A
    ${K^ + }$
  • B
    $C{s^{ + }}$
  • C
    $T{h^ 4+ }$
  • $C{u^ + }$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$C{u^ + }$
d
The electronic configuration of $Cu , Th , Cs$ and $K$ are

$Cu (29)=2,8,18,1$

$C u^{+}=2,8,18$

$\operatorname{Th}(90)=2,8,18,32,18,10,2$

$T h^{4+}=2,8,18,32,18,8$

$\operatorname{Cs}(55)=2,8,18,18,8,1$

$C s^{+}=2,8,18,18,8$

$K (19)=2,8,8,1$

$K^{+}=2,8,8$

Thus, $C u^{+}$has $18$ electrons in the outermost shell.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$:

Assertion $A$: In the photoelectric effect, the electrons are ejected from the metal surface as soon as the beam of light of frequency greater than threshold frequency strikes the surface.

Reason $R$ : When the photon of any energy strikes an electron in the atom, transfer of energy from the photon to the electron takes place.
