When you litter,
the trash can go into the ocean, and a fish could think of it as food, eat it, suffocate and die,
Same thing for land (but no ocean)
The correct answer is gonna be C) A lithium cation ion is smaller
A lithium cation has lost its valence electrons, which causes the remaining electrons to be pulled in stronger by the positive charge in the nucleus. As they get closer to the nucleus, the overall size of the atom is decreased.
Answer:
2
3
Explanation:
To infer the last energy of the given atoms, we need to write their electronic configuration:
For N = 1S² 2S² 2P³
Mg = 1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S²
The energy levels are usually designated as;
n = 1
n = 2
n = 3
n =4
For N, the last energy level is 2
Mg, the last energy level is 3
We can also determine this number by the periods the atoms can be found.
