The table compares some characteristics of two atoms.

Chemistry

7 0

The number of protons in X would be 6 while that of Y would also be 6. Thus, the two atoms would be isotopes of the same element.

<h3>Atomic properties of atoms</h3>

The mass number of an atom is the sum of protons and neutrons present in the atom.

For X with mass number 12 and neutron number 6, the number of protons would be:

                                 12 - 6 = 6 protons

For Y with mass number 13 and neutron number 7, the number of protons would be:

                                     13 - 7 = 6 protons.

Thus, both atoms have the same number of protons, meaning that they are likely isotopes of the same element.

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
