The valence electron of an atom has the highest energy level and is found on the outermost energy level. It is also the group number

It's how many are in the element's outer layer. The layers go: 2, 8, then 8.

Ex-6 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 4 left. If that layer holds 8, you can do 8-4 and it has 4 valence electrons.

Ex-10 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer has 0 left. It has 8 valence electrons because the outermost layer is full with 8.

ex-11 electrons. 1 layer is 2, the next layer is full as well. 2+8=10; it has 1 left. So that element has only one valence electron.

the density of granite is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. what would be the approximate mass of a cube of granite
Vlada [557]

Given parameters:

Density  = 2.7g/cm³

Length of the cube  = 10cm

Unknown:

Mass of the cube = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

  Density = \frac{mass}{volume}  

                Mass = density x volume

  We need to find the volume of the cube;

    Volume of the cube  = L³

where L is the length of the cube;

         Volume of the cube = 3³ = 27cm³

So, the mass of the granite = 2.7 x 27 = 72.9g

The granite has a mass of 72.9g

The periodic table is useful because it is organized to show many patterns and trends. What property shows a decrease moving fro
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

"Electronegativity" decrease moving from the bottom of Group 3 to the top of Group 3

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element tell us about the ability of an atom to attract the electrons towards the atom. It depends upon the atomic number and also the distance between the valence electrons that is present in the charged nucleus. The electronegativity will increase from left to right while moving in the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases from bottom to top. To measure the electronegativity pauling scale is used.
