Which of the following atoms has six valence electrons? (2 points)
irakobra [83]

The correct answer is Sulfur (S).


Sulfur has 6 valence electrons because it is located in Group 16 (or the sixth group over if you don’t count the transition metals). This means that one atom of sulfur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell out of 8 total “spots”, which you can count by counting the group numbers (excluding the transition metals) from Group 1 (with one valence electron) to Group 18 (the noble gases with full valence or outer shells).


By this same logic, Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons and Cesium (Cs) has 1 valence electron, so neither of these is the correct answer.


Hope this helps!

"A nuclear reaction of significant historical note occurred in 1932, when a beryllium target was bombarded with alpha particles.
rodikova [14]

Answer: _{0}^{1}\textrm{e} is missing

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given reaction:

^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}+^9_4\textrm{Be}\rightarrow ^{12}_{6}\textrm{C}+^A_Z\textrm{X}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

4 + 9 = 12 + A

A = 1

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

2 + 4 = 6 + Z

Z = 0

^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}+^9_4\textrm{Be}\rightarrow ^{12}_{6}\textrm{C}+^1_0\textrm{e}

Hence, missing is _{0}^{1}\textrm{e}.
