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

Constance has an apple that weighs 85,000 milligrams and a peach that weighs 0.15 kilograms. which fruit has the greater mass? c
Rama09 [41]

The fruit which has the greater mass is peach i.e. 150 grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass is a quantity which is used to define that what amount of substance will occupy any space or present in the given object.

We have given,

Weight of apples = 85,000 mg

Weight of peach = 0.15 kg

To compare the quantity first we have to convert both of these units in the same unit, and we know that:

In 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

And in 1 grams = 1000 milligrams

So, we convert both the units into grams as:

85,000 mg =  85,000 / 1000 = 85 grams

0.15 kg = 150 grams

So, the mass of peach is high.

Hence, peach has the greater mass.
