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.

Energy Sources (6 points) A. Sort the types of energy into the "renewable" and "nonrenewable" columns. (1 point)
denpristay [2]

Explanation:

(A)   Renewable resources are defined as the resources that can be used again and again.

For example, wind, hydroelectric energy, geothermal etc.

On the other hand, resources which cannot be used again and again and which cannot be replaced by natural means are known as non-renewable resources.

For example, coal, petroleum etc are all non-renewable resources.

Therefore, given options are distinguished as follows.

Renewable energy : Wind, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, Biomass, and Solar.

Non-renewable energy : Coal, Petroleum, Natural gas.

(B)    Fuels which decompose for a long period of time and which arise from old life forms are known as fossil fuels.

When fossil fuels burn in the presence of air that is, combustion of fossil fuels give carbon dioxide and water.

Which of the following atoms would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)

This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.
