Answer:
C
Explanation:
When something is chemical it is warped into a completely new substance and when coal is burned it is new so it is definitely C.
The answer is 3.
That is if an atom has 5 electrons in its outer shell, then it has 3 unpaired electrons.
As the outer shell have 1 s orbital too and that is fully filled and not available for bonding so it must have 3 unpaired electrons.
So the number of unpaired electrons in an atom that is having 5 electrons in its outer shell is 3.
Okay, to explain this you might have to grab a periodic table.
Do you have one? Good. Look at the most left side of the periodic table. The first group is the largest atoms in the periodic table. If you go to the right of the periodic table, the atoms get progressively smaller and smaller.
Why is this? Don't atoms get more electrons, and so become significantly bigger as they move to the right?
Although atoms do get more electrons as they go to the right, they also get more protons too. Protons pull on electrons and make atoms smaller. Because of this, going from left to right in a periodic table makes the atoms smaller and smaller, since more and more protons are added.
In this scenario, Aluminum is more to the right than Sodium, which means that it has more protons. Because of this, the protons in Aluminum pull more strongly on electrons than sodium, thus making aluminum smaller.
(Just a side note, going down in a periodic table makes the atoms bigger, since new shells are added every time)
Good luck! If you need any help, just ask :))
-T.B.
Caesium sulfate (cesium sulfate) is the inorganic compound and salt with the formula Cs2SO4. It is a white water-soluble solid that is used to prepare dense aqueous solutions for use in isopycnic (or "density-gradient") centrifugation. It is isostructural with potassium salt.
