Atomic disguise makes helium look like hydrogen. ... A helium atom consists of a nucleus containing two positively charged protons and two neutrons, encircled by two orbiting electrons which carry a negative charge. A hydrogen atom has just one proton and one electron
Answer: D. The elements have the same number of valence electrons
Explanation: The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.
The elements present in the same group or vertical column have similar valence configurations and thus behave similarly in chemical reactions or have similar bonding properties.
For Example: Both fluorine and chlorine belong to same family or group and both have 7 electrons in their valence shell and thus accept single electron to attain noble gas configuration.
thus both would bond with a cation bearing a single positive charge.
A gas doesn't have a fixed shape because the amount of space between the molecules in gas can change easily. B. the particles are not compressible
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.
The magnetic form of a substance can be determined<span> by examining its electron configuration: if it shows unpaired electrons, then the substance is paramagnetic; if all electrons are paired, the substance is diamagnetic.</span>
