Vedclass · Answer

(C) The given electronic configuration $1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6, 3s^1$ corresponds to Sodium $(Na)$,which is an alkali metal.Since it has a tendency to lose one electron to attain a stable noble gas configuration,it is a monovalent electropositive element.Alkali metals form basic oxides (e.g.,$Na_2O$).They have low electron affinity due to their stable octet configuration after losing an electron.Therefore,the statement that it is a non-metal is incorrect.

Which of the following statements is not correct for the element having electronic configuration $1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6, 3s^1$?
