...a metal atom will *lose* electrons to form a *positive* cation and a nonmetal atom will *accept* electrons to form an *negative* anion.
Answer:
Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.
Explanation:
The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.
Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.
Answer:
Since most of the data scientist collect is quantitative, data tables and charts are usually used to organize the information • Graphs are created from data tables • hope that helps love!
I believe it’s D because phosphorus has the mass of 30.9.
