Atom:Proton number same as number of electron.

Ion:Electronic configuration becomes "2.8.8" because the atom configuration is "2.8.5" the last shell have 5 electrons is more than "3" so you need to add electrons TILL the maximium that shell can hold to make it stable.If for example if the configuration is "2.8.3" you take the 3 electrons out from the last shell in order to make it stable.

Take out:1,2,3 electrons

Add:4 electron and above depends on what shell,but of course don't add MORR when is at the max the shell can hold.

Answer:

A, D,E

Explanation:

I think thats right. Cuz losing electrons makes you cation, gaining electron by a neutral atom makes you negative, and giving up electrons is synonymous to acting like a "metal"

Which statement below describes the behavior of a Molecules when a substance changes from a gas to liquid
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

As a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, its molecules first the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to "escape." They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules. Evaporation is not the only process that can change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The same change can occur through boiling.

Making solutions is an extremely important component to real-life chemistry. If you make 3.00 L of a solution using 90.0 g of so
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Final concentration of NaOH = 0.75 M

Explanation:

For NaOH :-

Given mass = 90.0 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{90.0\ g}{39.997\ g/mol}

Moles\ of\ NaOH= 2.2502\ mol

Molarity is defined as the number of moles present in one liter of the solution. It is basically the ratio of the moles of the solute to the liters of the solution.

The expression for the molarity, according to its definition is shown below as:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Where, Volume must be in Liter.

It is denoted by M.

Given, Volume = 3.00 L

So,

Molarity=\frac{2.2502\ mol}{3.00\ L}=0.75\ M

<u>Final concentration of NaOH = 0.75 M</u>
