Answer:

The correct answer is barium.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the valence shell of an atom of an element.

Bismuth has atomic number of 83.

[Bi]=[Xe]6s^26p^3

Number of valence electron = 5

Boron has atomic number of 5.

[B]=[He]2s^22p^1

Number of valence electron = 3

Barium has atomic number of 56.

[Ba]=[Xe]6s^2

Number of valence electron = 2

Bromine has atomic number of 35.

[Br]=[Ar]4s^24p^5

Number of valence electron = 7

Barium is one of the element in the given options which possesses fewest number of valence electrons

Answer:

A radionuclide is an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable. This excess energy can be used in one of three ways: emitted from the nucleus as gamma radiation; transferred to one of its electrons to release it as a conversion electron; or used to create and emit a new particle from the nucleus. Wikipedia

The existence of isotopes contradicts part of Dalton's original atomic theory because he said all atoms of a given element are identical have the same mass size and chemical properties.

A group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! How exciting? Upon furthe
spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.
