The alkali earth metals have two valence electrons.
Hope this helps! :)
There are 3 atoms in total. Two come from Hydrogen hence the H2. The third comes from the single Oxygen (O). Hope this helps!
The three situations can be described as
a) If we have two white powders and wish to distinguish between the two : the combinations can be sugar / salt or sugar / baking soda or salt / baking soda
all are kitchen items so we can either taste them
or in case of baking soda we can add it in water and it will produce brisk effervescence.
b) IF we have to distinguish in a given set of two transparent liquids which appear to be water (example water and vinegar)
we can identify them with the taste
we can identify them based on pH (vinegar will be acidic)
c) We have to find adulteration in a given sample of food
like adulteration in milk
for example presence of soap in milk
We can add indicator like phenolphthalein which will bring a pink colour in milk if soap is present
When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral
Inside the ground, different types of rocks and minerals are pressed together. The pressure causes the rocks to go together and form the sediments. Examples of sedimentary rocks are: sandstone, siltstone, and shale.
