It has 4 valance electrons.
Answer:
Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.
Explanation:
The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).
When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.
Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.
<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture
</h2>
Explanation:
- The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.
- This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
- On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.
