Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The element in question has 10 electrons, which means it belongs to the second group (column) of the periodic table. Only Element D is in the second group and has the electron configuration F1F1F1S2F1F1F1. In order to form an ion with a charge of +10, it would need to lose its two valence electrons, resulting in F1F1F1S1F1F1F110.
