Answer:
The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.
Explanation:
Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.
The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.
But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.
So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
The specific heat capacity of the metal given the data from the question is 0.66 J/gºC
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
- Mass of metal (M) = 76 g
- Temperature of metal (T) = 96 °C
- Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 120 g
- Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.5 °C
- Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 31 °C
- Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
- Specific heat capacity of metal (C) =?
<h3>How to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>
The specific heat capacity of the sample of the metal can be obtained as follow:
Heat loss = Heat gain
MC(M –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)
76 × C × (96 – 31) = 120 × 4.184 × (31 – 24.5)
C × 4940 = 3263.52
Divide both side by 4940
C = 3263.52 / 4940
C = 0.66 J/gºC

I believe the answer is 50.5 molecules
Answer:
An atom gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase; therefore the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. In general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right of a certain period.
