can someone tell me the electron configuration and orbital diagram (arrow things in boxes) of Xenon and Iodine who oactually knows how to answer this pls?

No, no one can tell you.

Explanation:

c. heat could easily travel through the molecules in the air and escape/enter the flask. removing the air slows down the heat transfer.  

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
