Question
An atom X has 4 protons and 5 neutrons with electronic configuration 2, 2. Give information about its.
  1. Atomic number.
  2. Mass number.
  3. Valency.

Answer

Protons = 4Neutrons = 5
Number of protons = Number of electrons
Number of electrons = 4
Electronic Configuration
= 2, 2
Number of Valence electrons in the outermost shell = 2
Valency = 2
  1. Since, protons =electrons = atomic no. 
So atomic no. is 4
  1. Mass Number = No. of Protons + No. of Neutrons
= 4 + 5 = 9
  1. Now electronic distribution, K = 2, L = 2
So as the outermost shell has 2 electrons, so the valency will be 2
