I’m not really sure just trying to get points but maybe it’s length
Answer:
<u><em>(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons</em></u>
Explanation:
The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 ×
g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.
The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.
Can you do plsssssssss
help me plssssssssssss meee
The answer to the problem is 100
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
