Answer: 8 electrons

Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.

Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.

Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.

14.28 explain how you would distinguish between each pair of compounds using high- resolution mass spectrometry
vagabundo [1.1K]

The distinguish between each pair of compounds using high- resolution mass spectrometry by the exact mass rather than nominal mass are utilizes to measure the compound.

The mass spectrometry is involves the following steps :

  • The ionization
  • acceleration
  • deflection
  • detection

Mass spectrometry is the analytical method useful for the calculating the mass to charge ratio ( m / z ). the mass spectrometry is based on the newton's second law and the momentum.

Thus, the mass spectroscopy is method to measure the molecular mass of the compound and indirectly helps examine the isotopes and based on the newton's second law .

When should a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves be worn in the laboratory?
Sever21 [200]
I would say that you should wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves when the teacher says so - not everything in a lab is dangerous, so there is no need to always wear these. But when the teacher says you should - then you should.
