Valence electrons are located in the outermost shell of the atom.
There are few elements that can form 12 electron rather
than the usual 8. Therefore these are the possible answers:
Sulfur = 2Na + S --> Na2S <span>
Selenium = 2Na + Se --> Na2Se
<span>Tellurium = 2Na + Te --> Na2Te</span></span>
Answer:
The binding energy released is 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the alpha particle, m = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
speed of the alpha particle, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
The binding energy released is given by;

where;
m is mass of the particle
c is speed of the particle
E = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ (3 x 10⁸)²
E = 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J
Therefore, the binding energy released is 1.992 X 10⁻¹⁸ J
