Explanation:

All the atoms present in periodic table are neutral in nature and it is known that a neutral atom means that it contains no charge.

For example, sodium is present as Na in the periodic table. And, it does not contain any charge.

When a neutral atom loses or gains an electron then it acquires a charge.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 2. Hence, in order to acquire stability when it loses 2 valence electrons then neutral atom of Ca changes into $Ca^{2+}$ .

Hence, it means that by loosing 2 valence electrons calcium has an electric charge of +2.

Answer:

Neutral

Explanation:

Atoms on the periodic table all have neutral electric charges. This is because they have an equal number of protons, which are positivly charged, and electrons, which are negatively charged.

Answer:

The Photosynthesis process

Explanation:

Plants, algae, and some other organisms can transform the sunlight energy into chemical energy. The photosynthesis process occur thanks to the chloroplasts. The chloroplast is an organelle found in all green plants. Inside of the chloroplast you can find the thylakoids which are arranged in stacks named grana, they have membranes with chloropyll a photosynthetic pigment, also you can find the photosystems, they are functional and structural units of protein complexes. The thylakoids capture the light and allow the reactions to transform CO2. The set of reactions that occurs in the chloroplasts are known as the Calvin cycle.

The general equation of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + Energy -> C_{6} H_{12} 12O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + water + Light -> Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen

After, this glucose is transformed into pyruvate, and it allowed the release of denosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. The ATP is an organic chemical that is requires for the cell to perform any process (any kind or work).

Or each set of elements represented in this periodic table outline, identify the principal quantum number, n , and the azimuthal

Tems11 [23]

The answer is potassium. It would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just total which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The way in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The row where the potassium also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to satisfying up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it seals up the "p"s for n=4.
