You should know how many electrons fit in each shell.

K 2
L 8
M 2

You can fit 8 electrons in the M shell but after filling up the first shells, there are only 2 electrons left. This means that there are 2 valence electrons.

<em>Hey there!</em>

First, know that a valence electron is an electron in an outer shell.  The Valence shell of the element magnesium contains a total of 2 Valence electrons.

Hope this helps you, good luck in Med-School!

Answer:

Humans have impacted the hydrosphere drastically and will only continue to due so based on population needs. Global climate change, water pollution, damming of rivers, wetland drainage, reduction in stream flow, and irrigation have all exerted pressure on the hydrosphere's existing freshwater systems.

Answer:

the temperature of the star

Explanation:

The color of stars usually indicates the temperature of the star.

A star that is relatively cold usually shows a typical red color.

The hottest stars have a blue color.  

  • These star colors have been used by astronomers to determine their temperature.
  • A broad spectrum between blue, the hottest color,  and red the coldest is used.
  • Class O stars are usually the blue colored ones
  • Class M is the coldest with red color
