Oxygen (O), Sulphur (S) and Selenium (Se) have similar chemical properties because they all have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells.

Atoms with the same number of electrons in their outermost shells can be found in the same group.

A group consists of elements arranged in the same column (from top to bottom) on the periodic table. Elements on the same group have similar chemical properties.

Oxygen (O), Sulphur (S) and Selenium (Se) are in group eight. All three elements are highly electronegative and have 6 electrons in their outermost shell. They also carry ab charge of -2.

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

Molecule

Explanation:

The molecular formula HOH is an example of a molecule.

A molecule is the smallest particle of a substance (element or compound) capable of independent existence.

Molecules can be:

  1. Monoatomic with one atom e.g Neon, Argon
  2. Diatomic with two atoms e.g Nitrogen gas N₂
  3. Polyatomic e.g ozone O₃

The word molecule can also be used to refer to a covalent compound that has discrete or separate units.

The formula HOH or H₂O is a separate covalent that has an independent existence.
