Answer:

The atomic number represents or stands for the distinct identity of a chemical element. It is usually defined as the number or protons present in an atom of an element, which is also equal to the number of electrons.

Hello!
Whenever you see an atomic number with an element, you know the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, which determines the chemical of an element and its place on the periodic table.

For example, Hydrogen has only one proton, however, if you were to add say 78 more protons, you'd get gold!

An atom has three full orbitals in its second energy level.
rewona [7]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sub-levels are given as:

   for s-sublevel we have two electrons and one orbital

        p-sublevel we have six electrons and three orbitals

        d-sublevel we have ten electrons and five orbitals

       f- sublevel we have fourteen electrons and seven orbitals

The second energy level is represented by the p-sub-level and it will accommodate 6 electrons.

List the bonding pairs H and I; S and O; K and Br; Si and Cl, H and F; Se and S; C and H in order of increasing covalent charact
stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. (S,O) < (Se,S) < (C,H) = (H,I) = (H,F) < (Si,Cl) < (K,Br)

Explanation:

The covalent character always increases down the group, this is because ionic character decreases down the group and also electronegativity.

In the same way, Covalent character always decreases across a period because electronegativity increases across a period.

The higher the electronegativity values between the two atoms, the more ionic it will be.
