Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.
In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.
Answer:
Yes, the number of electrons determines the chemical properties of the atom.

Answer:
The acceleration of the ball is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The maximum height the ball reachs is 
The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is 
The vertical component of the initial velocity of the ball is 
The vertically motion of the ball can be mathematically represented as
Here the final velocity at the maximum height is zero so 
Making the acceleration 
the subject we have
substituting values
The negative sign shows that the direction of the acceleration is in the negative y-axis
Answer:
Explanation:
You could look up the shark population near specific coral reefs. You could also go the simple route and say something like, "sharks eat fish so, sharks will go where the fish are and if there are fish in the coral reefs, (which there are) they would be most likely to go there". I know this may not be the answer you were looking for but its the best I've got.
