Chemistry

Explanation:

When an atom's outermost orbital gains or loses electrons (also known as valence electrons), the atom forms an ion. An ion with more protons than electrons carries a net positive charge and is called a cation. An ion with more electrons than protons carries a net negative charge and is called an anion

For elements in the third row of the periodic table and beyond, the octet rule is often not obeyed. a friend of yours says this
Rom4ik [11]

The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.  

The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.

Write one paragraph!!!!!reasons why the minimum wage should be increased.
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

There are pros and cons, I will explain mostly pros. After all the pros outweigh the cons.

Explanation:

Increasing the minimum wage can be letting people work less or earn more. This can have a major impact on the economy in America. It can reduce poverty within some families households. A con concerning this though is that people who work for low pay can lose their jobs and their family can become poor. It can also affect the federal minimum wage.
