Answer:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
Explanation:
Chlorine is a groups 17 element. The halogens for ions by accepting one electron to form univalent negative ions.
Since chlorine normally contains seventeen electrons, the chloride ion consists of eighteen electrons.
Hence the electronic configuration of chlorine ion is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6.
Answer:
6. protons, mass number from the atomic number
7. Li= ,
Answer:
The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced
Explanation:
Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.
During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
The first basic metals on the periodic table are alkali metals.
Answer:
Bonds between atoms are broken/ or new bonds are formed
Explanation:
Due to chemical changes.
