The low-mass elements, hydrogen and helium, were produced in the hot, dense conditions of the birth of the universe itself. The birth, life, and death of a star is described in terms of nuclear reactions. The chemical elements that make up the matter we observe throughout the universe were created in these reactions.
Electrons determine the chemical properties. Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus the number of protons determines the number of electrons of an atom
There is 1 H atom: (1)(+1) = +1 The oxidation number of O is -2. There are 4 O atoms here: (4)(-2) = -8 So the oxidation state of Cl is +7.
NOTE: The maximum positive oxidation number for chlorine is +7,<span> the same as its group number (VII).</span>
Answer:
The attractive force between them decreases
Explanation:
This is because they become localised.
