Answer #1

Answer is A both I and II because Cd atomic no is 48 its electronic configuration will be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10

where as Sn atomic no is 50 its electronic configuration will be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p2

but after lossing its 2 electron its configuration becomes 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10

which is same as [kr]

B says only I which is wrong

C says only II which is wrong

D says nor I AND II this is also wrong

Probability question poker pick four of a kind. Please explain why my answer is wrong rather than just giving me the correct answer (13C1)(4C4)(48C1)(4C1)/52C5 this is my answer i know that the correct answer is eraiseing the (4C10 but why? we pick 48C1 then we should pick the suit and that card can be any suit , so I add 4C1 , please explain what is wrong with my answer.
