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.

A scientist observed a 5-mL sample of an unknown substance. It is a blue liquid with a density of 1.2 g/cm. the substance reacts
LenaWriter [7]
Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.

Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.

Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

List of the properties observed by the scientist:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Property                                     Type of property
----------------------------------------------------------------
Volume: 5 ml                              non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
Color: blue                                 non-characteristic
----------------------------------------------------------------
State: liquid                                characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
density: 1.2 g/cm                        characteristic
------------------------------------------------------------
Reaction: reacts with CO2         characteristic

Which of the following would be considered important in including in the summary of an experimental investigation?
just olya [345]

Answer is: variables that were manipulated during the experiment.

The two main variables in an experiment are the independent and dependent variable.

Dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.

Dependent variables depend on the values of independent variables. The dependent variables represent the output or outcome whose variation is being studied.

Laboratory room number is the least important.
