  1. A \(3,+6\)
  2. B \(4,+3\)
  3. C \(6,+3\)
  4. D \(4,+2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6,+3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electronic configuration of \[ Z=13 \text { is } 1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^1 \] The maximum covalency of any element is found by counting the number of covalent and coordinate bonds that it can form. So, the maximum covalency of element having \(Z=13\) is 6 . Since, it has 3…
