<span>The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).</span>
Answer:
Hydrogen is usually classified as a group 1 element since it has one valence electron, just like group 1 metals.
Explanation:
The symbols for three different cations with 14 protons are Si²⁺, Si⁴⁺, and Si³⁺.
An element with 14 protons must be <em>silicon, S</em>i.
Its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s²3p², so it could lose up to four valence electrons.
The most likely cations are Si²⁺, Si⁴⁺, and Si³⁺ (or Si⁺).
A is correct because the fruit salad can be easily separated and the puch cannot so it is a solution and the fruit salad is a mixture.
Answer:
Physical properties increasing atomic number
Explanation:
The modern periodic table is arranged by the increasing atomic number and for that reason elements with similar chemical properties are in the same group
