True, bc each element emits lights that have an unique wavelength and frequency
Answer:
atomic mass= 33
Charge= -2
Explanation:
In an atom, are contained three SUBATOMIC particles viz: proton and neutron found in the nucleus, electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons contain the positive charge of an atom while electrons contain the negative charge of an atom. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines the charge of an ion (charged atom). Also, the atomic mass or mass number of that atom is got by adding the number of protons + number of neutrons.
In this case where the number of protons and number of neutrons are 16 and 17 respectively, the mass no. or atomic mass is 17 + 16 = 33.
Also, since two electrons are gained by this atom, it means the electron numbe, which is normally equal to the proton number in a neutral atom, will be increased by 2. Hence, the electron number will be 18 in this case.
The charge of the atom= no. of protons - no. of electrons = 16 - 18 = -2.
Yes, it can happen.
If all the lower energy orbits are already filled with electrons, then it cannot happen since the lower orbitals will already be full, hence another electron will have to move.
However, if the lower energy orbits are not full (for instance if one excited electron goes back to its normal state), then it can happen.
Good idea!maybe I should try that
