The part of the atom that is involved in chemical changes is A. electron. The electrons that are in the most outer shells are called valence electrons which are easily removed or shared to form bonds. Valence electrons are related to the number of valence electrons
Answer:
Option (d) is correct
N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺
Explanation:
Total electrons for all the species = 10
So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.
We know
Ionic radii ∝ 
- Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
- Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
- N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
- F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
- Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
- So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size
Answer:
It depends on their melting and/or their boiling points, because the heat provides the particles with kinetic energy to break the electrosatic bonds in the substances, which can differ in strength
Explanation:
The two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons, so two covalent bonds hold the oxygen molecule together
