The answer is 3.

That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.

As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.

So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.

What are the atomic number and mass number of this atom
lina2011 [118]
No diagram is given therefore I cannot answer however, use this for reference.
The atomic mass of an atom would be the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons. Because this atom shown has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, they add up to 12. In this case, the atomic mass of this atom is 12. Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, in this case it is 6. The atomic number is 6.

Which climate condition is typically found in the tropics due to the interaction of the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
g100num [7]

Answer:

A. Dry with low humidity

Explanation:

Atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds the earth above air layer. Its conditions affect our climate.

The hydrosphere includes the water which is on the surface of the earth,below the ground and in the air.

Tropics are the region of our earth surrounding the equator.

On analyzing the climatic conditions in the tropics due to the interaction of the atmosphere and hydrosphere, the presence of water droplets in tropics is less resulting in less humidity and, thus the climatic condition is dry.

Therefore the climatic condition that is typically found in tropics due to interaction of the atmosphere and hydrosphere is dry with low humidity.
