A neutral carbon doesn't lack any electrons. It has exactly the same number of electrons as it has neutrons.
However, it has four electrons in its outer shell in comparison with eight electrons for a noble gas.
In that sense, it needs four electrons to complete its second shell.<span />
Answer:
Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms
Explanation:
Like for example let's say ionic bonds..... Since one atom has to lose specific electrons to be stable and the other needs the electrons from the other atom to be stable.....
When an atom combines chemically with another atom, it either gains, loses, or shares ELECTRONS.
The least net force applied : Car 3(12 N)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Newton's 2nd law explains that the acceleration produced by the resultant force on an object is proportional and in line with the resultant force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
∑F = m. a
Car 1 ⇒m=0.5 kg, a=36 m/s²

Car 2⇒m=0.8 kg, a=50 m/s²

Car 3⇒m=0.6, a=20 m/s²

Car 4⇒m=1, a=19~m/s²

Answer:
See the images below
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,
a. Silicon.
Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.
b. Xenon
Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.
c. Calcium
Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.
d. Water
Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.
Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.
