It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.
For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2 that is not balanced
with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2 now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal
Answer:
Protons:
- positive
- aka cation
- in the nucleus along with the neutrons
Electrons:
- negative
- aka anion
- situated in the orbital shells/configuration levels (there are many names)
Answer:
Stage 1: 1 days.
Stage 2: 2-3 days.
Stage 3: 4-5 days.
Stage 4: 6 days.
Stage 5 (a-c): 7-12 days.
Stage 6: c. 17 days.
Stage 7: c. 19 days.
Stage 8: c. 23 days.
Answer:- oxygen.
Explanations:- The electronic configuration is given and we are asked to figure out the electrically neutral atom that will have the electron configuration, 
.
The sum of electrons for this electron configuration is 8. If we look at the periodic table then 8 is the atomic number of oxygen.
So, the electrically neutral atom for the given electron configuration is oxygen.
