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.

A meteorologist filled a weather balloon with 3.00L of the inert noble gas helium. The balloon's pressure was 765 torr. The ball
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

4.33 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial volume of the balloon (V₁): 3.00 L

Initial pressure of the balloon (P₁): 765 torr

Final  volume of the balloon (V₂): ?

Final pressure of the balloon (P₂): 530 torr

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the balloon

If we consider Helium to behave as an ideal gas, we can calculate the final volume of the balloon using Boyle's law.

P_1 \times V_1 =  P_2 \times V_2\\V_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1}{P_2} = \frac{765torr \times 3.00L}{530torr} = 4.33 L

The element in Group 14 Period 4 has how many neutrons and is it a metal, nonmetal, metalloid or noble gas.
monitta

Number of neutrons=41, and it is metalloid

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Group 14⇒valence electron = 4(ns²np²)

Period 4⇒n=4

So electron configuration of the element :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p² = 32 electron=atomic number

The element with atomic number 32, which is in period 4 and group 14 is Ge-Germanium

There are seven elements that can be classified as metalloids, namely boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), tellurium (Te), and polonium (Po).

While the mass number: 73

So the number of neutrons = mass number-atomic number

\tt 73-32=41
