Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
A. it contains a lot of matter
Some similarities between deserts and rainforests are that they support complex ecosystems, are powered by the sun/photosynthetic plants, are dangerous/mostly uninhabitable for humans, due to both conditions and wildlife, and are found mostly in the tropics
Answer :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
The given molecule is, 
Beryllium has '2' valence electrons and fluorine has '7' valence electrons. Beryllium is the central atom and fluorine is the terminal atom.
Total number valence electrons in
= 2 + 2(7) = 16
According to the Lewis-dot structure, there are '4' number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons (lone-pair).
The Lewis-dot structure is shown below.
2.
The reason why is because there are 2 available electron spots on the orbital for the oxygen atom. Hydrogen atoms have one proton and one electron, thus, in order to fill the oxygen atom orbital to a full outer shell, a maximum of 2 atoms could bond with the oxygen atoms.
6 electrons (oxygen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)+ 1 electron (hydrogen)= 8
