<span>The atomic number tells you how many _PROTONS_ are in the _NUCLEUS_ of an atom of that element. :)</span>
The answer is A.
Hope this helped!!!
erosion and weathering.
erosion as in breaking it down, weathering is also a cause of erosion, but in the case of rain, it would carry away the remaining sediments.
Both transition metals and alkali metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, react with water, and are easily oxidized.
<h3>What are alkali metals and transition metals?</h3>
The alkali metals are elements of group 1 which are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). They are also known as the s-block elements because they have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.
The alkali metals are shiny, soft, highly reactive metals and readily lose their outermost electron to create cations with charge +1. They can tarnish rapidly in the air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen.
Transition elements or transition metals are elements that have partially filled d-orbitals. An element having a d-subshell that is partially filled with electrons or can form stable cations with an incompletely filled d orbital.
Any element present in the d-block of the modern periodic table which consists of groups 3 to 12, is considered to be a transition element. For example, the mercury in the +2 oxidation state, corresponds to an electronic configuration of (n-1)d¹⁰. Many paramagnetic compounds are formed by transition metals because they have unpaired electrons in the d orbital.
