Answer:
D
Explanation:
Oxygen is the 8th element in the periodic table. This means that oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons. In order to get the number of neutrons you take the atomic weight in this case 15.9999~16 and you subtract it by the number of protons (16-8).
Answer:
5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.
Explanation:
Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.
Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.
