Answer:
The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.
Explanation:
Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.
We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2
Answer is D)
<u>Answer:</u> 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.
The nuclear reaction for the fission of Americium-244 isotope follows:

<u>To calculate Y:</u>
Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

Hence, 3 neutrons are produced in the above nuclear reaction.
