Answer : The correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Explanation :

Hydrogen is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of hydrogen is, 1

The electronic configuration of hydrogen is, 1s^1

The number of valence electrons present in hydrogen is, 1.

(A) Helium is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of helium is, 2

The electronic configuration of helium is, 1s^2

The number of valence electrons present in helium is, 2.

(B) Oxygen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of oxygen is, 8

The electronic configuration of oxygen is, 1s^22s^22p^4

The number of valence electrons present in oxygen is, 6.

(C) Nitrogen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of nitrogen is, 7

The electronic configuration of nitrogen is, 1s^22s^22p^3

The number of valence electrons present in nitrogen is, 5.

(D) Lithium is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of lithium is, 3

The electronic configuration of lithium is, 1s^22s^1

The number of valence electrons present in lithium is, 1.

From this we conclude that the lithium element has the same number of valence electrons as hydrogen.

Hence, the correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Anna007 [38]

Calculate the food energy (joules/g) of one of your food samples. one chemistry calorie is equal to 4.186 joules. convert the energy you calculated to kilojoules (1 kj = 1000 j). since nothing is given, an example is avocadoes have 160 cal/100 g serving

(160 cal/ 100 g)(4.186 J/ 1 cal) (1 kJ/1000 J) = 0.0067 kJ/g

yKpoI14uk [10]

Hey there!

Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance PO₄.

1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂

Balance H.

6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.

Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Balance Ca.

1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Our final balanced equation:

3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂

Hope this helps!
