The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the
weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the
weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the
carbon-12 atom.
Answer:
Chemical bonds are the electrical forces of attraction that hold atoms or ions together to form molecules. Different types of chemical bonds and their varying intensity are directly responsible for some of the physical properties of minerals such as hardness, melting and boiling points, solubility, and conductivity.
Explanation:
Answer:
Electric Current
This is a flow of electrons (such as the flow of electrons in a wire to light up a lamp).
Insulator
These stop the electricity from flowing (think rubber and glass).
Resistance
This is slowing the flow of electrons (the current) and where some of the electrons' energy gets converted into heat.
Conductor
These allow electricity to flow easily through them (think copper and aluminum).
B. 8
Although it may seem that transition metals would have more than 8 valence electrons, they in fact do not.
