Ice starts to melt and turns into water as it melts
D. Two electrons in its first energy level; eight electrons in its second energy level; six valence electrons in its outermost energy level.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!! :)
Electronic configuration of the atom describes the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).
Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.
Therefore,
s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.
p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons
d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons
f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.
Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:
<h2>s < p < d < f</h2>
Answer:
A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.
A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

i hope this helps you :)
Both carbon and lead belong to Group IV elements, and thus they have the same number of valence electrons.
<span>In each of the other options, the two elements belong to different groups, and thus they do NOT have the same number of valence electrons.</span>
