Question

Figure 2.3 -Which drawing in Figure 2.3 depicts the electron configuration of an element with chemical properties most similar to those of helium (₂He)?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helium has a complete outer electron shell with two electrons. The drawing that depicts an element with a similar electron configuration, meaning a full outer shell with two electrons, would have properties most similar to helium. Option E shows this configuration, indicating an element that, like helium, has a complete outer electron shell, suggesting stability and inertness similar to that of noble gases.
