Answer:
Electrons get farther from the nucleus.
Explanation:
By going from the top to the bottom of a group, the atomic number increases. That would mean that:
- The number of orbitals increases, as there are more electrons.
- A higher atomic number implies an increasing number of neutrons.
- As there are more electrons, they get farther from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for the electron to be removed from the atom.

Explanation:
The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This implies that in a chemical reaction, we can only have the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.
If we write 4Fe2S3 it means that we have;
4 * 2 = 8 atoms of Fe
4 * 3 = 12 atoms of S
8 + 12 = 20 atoms in all
Answer:
Explanation:
Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. ...
Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart. ...
Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.
They are called isotopes.
Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.
The most common hydrogen has
1 proton
1 electron and
0 neutrons
It has 2 cousins
1 proton
1 electron
1 neutron
And
1 proton
1 electron
2 neutrons.
Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.
