Answer:

The order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

Explanation:

The electrons are attracted to the nucleus and it is necessary to provide energy to start them. The ionization energy I is then the energy needed to start an electron to a gaseous atom, isolated and in a fundamental state. The electrons of the last layer are always lost, which are the weakest attracted to the nucleus.

The elements beryllium, calcium, magnesium and strontium, if you place them in the periodic table, are in the same group. In the same group, the size of the atoms increases as they descend in the periodic table. In this way, electrons are found in layers increasingly distant from the nucleus, being less and less attracted to it. This facilitates its extraction from the atom. Finally, the ionization energy decreases as it descends in a group.  Following this criterion, the order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

Which of the following is NOT true of white dwarfs?
liq [111]

Answer:

A white dwarf is what stars like the Sun become after they have exhausted their nuclear fuel. Near the end of its nuclear burning stage, this type of star expels most of its outer material, creating a planetary nebula. Only the hot core of the star remains. ... That means a white dwarf is 200,000 times as dense.

Explanation:

they are cold

they are about the size of Earth

these both are not true

How many grams in 6.20 x 10^25 atoms of bromine (Br) ? image attached , will give brainliest
Deffense [45]

Answer:

8239.2g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of atoms in Br  = 6.2 x 10²⁵atoms

Unknown:

Mass of Br = ?

Solution:

From mole concepts, we know that:

       1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms/mol

 Molar mass of Br  = 80g/mol

6.2 x 10²⁵atoms  x \frac{1}{6.02 x 10^{23} } \frac{mol}{atoms} x  80 x \frac{g}{moles}  

          = 8239.2g

5. Can you determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom by looking at the element's average atomic mass and the at
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

No you can't

Explanation:

The atomic number is the amount of protons in element's nucleus, that's one reason why. The second reason is that the atomic mass is protons and neutrons combined, their estimated value, which doesn't show how much neutrons are in an element. It does show combined, but not specifically neutrons
