Answer:
they both gain one electron
Explanation:
they are both halogens and they each have one unpaired electron so that unpaired electron join together to make them form a bond
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
According to the question, it is established that the pain caused by a lot of insect bites owes to the acidity of the insect bites.
If this is true, then there is an urgent need to neutralize the acidic insect bite using a basic substance.
Hence the pH of the creams used to treat insect bites should be basic(having a high pH).
2. The compound methene can not exist because it is supposed to be derived from the alkane called methane which contains only one carbon atom.
In order to form an alkene, there must be a double bond between two carbon atoms. This is not possible because there is only one carbon atom in the hypothetical methene. Hence, a compound named methene cannot exist.
Losing electrons and forming positive ions
Magnetizing steel is a physical change, not a chemical change.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
