Answer: Subtract the number of valence electrons(outer most shell electrons) from the atomic number of an atom.

Explanation: The total number of electrons for an atom equals to its atomic number. Electrons are present in different shells. Electrons present in outer most shell(valence shell) are known as valence electrons and rest of the electrons present in inner shells are known as core electrons.

So, to determine the number of electrons we subtract the valence electrons from atomic number.

For example, atomic number of N (nitrogen) is 7. It has 5 valence electrons.

Number of core electrons for N = 7 - 5 = 2

You discover a piece of jewelry that you think might be made of silver. You place the item on a balance and determine that it ha
Amanda [17]

No, this item is not made of pure silver because if it has been made from pure silver that it would have displaced only 1.16cm³ of water but due to the addition of some other low-density element it displaces 1.9cm³ of water.

<u>For pure silver</u>

density of pure silver is = 10.49 g/cm³

mass of silver = 12.2 gram

since, density = mass/volume

          volume = mass/density

                        = 12.2/10.49 cm³

                         = 1.16 cm³

But the actual displaced water is <u>1.9cm³</u>, which means some other element of lower density has been added.

Therefore, it is clear that the given jewelry is not made of pure silver.
