<span>The outer electrons are not as tightly bound as ones closer to the nucleus</span>

6 0

Explanation:

It is known that nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge whereas neutrons have no charge.

Therefore, electrons closer to the nucleus are strongly held due to the force of attraction between opposite charges of protons and electrons.

So, as the electrons go far away from the nucleus then force of attraction between the nucleus and electrons decreases.

As a result, it becomes easier to remove valence electrons of an atom. Thus, they can be removed by friction.

What can you infer about the volume of an object imagined with a greater mass?
pashok25 [27]
We tend to think the greater the mass, the greater the volume but that is not true.  What weighs more a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?  Obviously they are the same however there would be a lot more feathers than lead.  Mass and volume are not really related.

Please help!!<br><br>Show the electronic configuration of magnesium atom​.
Galina-37 [17]

Explanation:

Magnesium has atomic number 12. It will be distributed in K, L, M shell in the following way:

K shell can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons.

L shell can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons and

M shell will accommodate 2 electrons

So the configuration becomes 2, 8,3
