Which elements have atoms that are likely to form an anion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
5 0
Answer:

Phosphorus, chlorine and selenium.

Explanation:

If you look at a periodic table, you will notice that phosphorus, chlorine and selenium are all in groups 15-17. Elements in these groups are more likely to gain electrons then they are to lose them, thus making them more likely to form an anion.
This is because they want to fill their outer valence shell of electrons so that they can have a full octet and for groups 15-17 it’s easier to gain 1-3 electrons then it is to loose 5-7 electrons.

What takes up the vast majority of space in an atom?
yKpoI14uk [10]

The answer is: a relatively large electron cloud.

Atom is composed of the nucleus and the electron cloud.

Protons (positive particles) and neutrons (neutral particles) are in the nucleus of an atom and electrons (negative particles) are in the electron cloud.

Nucleus is in the centar of the atom atom and electron cloud is surrounding it.

Atoms have their mass concentrated in a very small nucleus.

Which two wire properties would provide the greatest resistance to the flow of a current? short, thin long, thin hot, thick cool
Nat2105 [25]

The two properties which provide the greatest resistance to the flow of a current are the long and thin wires.

<h3>What is resistance?</h3>

Resistance is the quantity which define the flow of current from any wire and it is represented as:

R ∝ l/A, where

l = length of wire

A = cross section of wire

From the relation it is clear that resistance is high in long wire and thin wire.

So, required properties are long and thin.
