Answer:
The answer is 4
Explanation:
Since magnesium and calcium have the same number of valence electrons, and since the valence electrons are located in the outermost shell so the reasonable is 4
Wait a second...I am sorry I don't know the answer but I have something to tell you.
It is not necessary that in alcohols, OH should be at the end of a chain .
It can be anywhere in the chain..
Orbital
All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons. Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.
Here you go :)
The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
Magnets have batteries and the batteries make the magnets work it depends on which way the batteries are facing or if not im sorry and i hope this helped
