The correct answer is 3) Be and 5) Ge.Explanation:In the ground state, the number of s-electrons and p-electrons in an atom's outermost shell determines its chemical properties. For an element to have an equal number of s-electrons and p-electrons in its outermost shell, it must have a total of 4 electrons in that shell.1) Carbon (C) has 2 s-electrons and 2 p-electrons in its outermost shell.2) Tellurium (Te) has 2 s-electrons and 6 p-electrons in its outermost shell.3) Beryllium (Be) has 2 s-electrons and 2 p-electrons in its outermost shell.4) Tin (Sn) has 2 s-electrons and 10 p-electrons in its outermost shell.5) Germanium (Ge) has 2 s-electrons and 6 p-electrons in its outermost shell.Therefore, the elements with an equal number of s-electrons and p-electrons in their outermost shell are Beryllium (Be) and Germanium (Ge).
