What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Leviafan [203]

There was an increase in kinetic energy during the segment C and in other segments

Recall: That temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy, so increasing temperature all cause increasing kinetic energy and vice versa.

However too, the heat energy which is added during the phase change is usually used to overcome forces in order to hold the molecules together.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

Kinetic energy is the type of energy an object or a body posesss due to it motion

The body usually maintains it's kinetic energy unless the speed changes

<h3>What it potential energy?</h3>

Potential energy is a type of energy an object or a body had due to its relative position.
