everything in red is answered and the rest i need help with, someone please help me thanks !

Not that I checked if answers given were correct.

d) how many of how electrons are there in an atom of this element?

Huh?

4. which following elements has +3 ion with 2 unpaired electrons?
As Cl Fe Sc Cr

Where is the problem? Start with chemical properties (does Cl³⁺ exist?), then write configurations.

6. use periodic trends to predict which of the following elements has the largest atomic radius
S Ar He Ge

7. use periodic trends and predict which of the following items has the largest radius
N3- F- Mg2+ O2-

What trends do you know? Can you write configurations? If ion has a configuration of some other element, is there anything you can predict about its radius?

8. use a noble-gas notation and write the ground-state electronic configuration of the following ions: Cs+ Ge2+ Cu2+

For Li⁺ it would be just [He].

9. write the equation representing the second ionization energy for Mn [Ar]3d5

This is not an equation yet, for an equation you need both reactant and products.

10. each of the following oxides reacts with water to produce an acid or a base, depending on whether the oxide is an acidic or basic oxide. Give the formula of the products of this reaction.
SrO B2O3 Br2O5

Nothing to do with the electronic configurations.

In 3b also As is paramagnetic
