Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons( by JJ thomson's theory)

Thus, the number of protons is 16

What do the valence of electrons tell you?
9966 [12]

Answer:

valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost electron shell of an element. Knowing how to find the number of valence electrons in a particular atom is an important skill for chemists because this information determines the kinds of chemical bonds that it can form and, therefore, the element's reactivity

Question 9. The first one is the smallest. Anything with a negative exponent is going to be less than 1, the .00000241. The exponent tells you the number of zeroes to the right of the decimal point. Farther to right gets smaller and smaller.

Question 10. The last one is true. If the last digit is smaller than 5, drop the digit, and do not change. (If it is a 5 or larger, the digit before it would round up)

Explain why atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids.
Ad libitum [116K]
<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.
