Answer : The correct option is, (B) sodium and potassium

Explanation :

Valence electrons : Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of the element.

As we know that,

<u>Option (A) :</u>

Element = Hydrogen

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 1

The electronic configuration is, 1s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

Element = Helium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 2

The electronic configuration is, 1s^2

The number of valence electrons = 2

<u>Option (B) :</u>

Element = Sodium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 11

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

Element = Potassium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 19

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

The number of valence electrons = 1

<u>Option (C) :</u>

Element = Carbon

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 6

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^2

The number of valence electrons = 4

Element = Oxygen

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 8

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^4

The number of valence electrons = 6

<u>Option (D) :</u>

Element = Boron

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 5

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^1

The number of valence electrons = 3

Element = Beryllium

Atomic number = Number of electrons = 4

The electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^2

The number of valence electrons = 2

From this we conclude that, the sodium and potassium are the elements have the same number of valence electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (B)

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to  the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.
