Answer:

9 electrons when there is no charge shown. It has 2 shells, this is easy to see on the periodic table because it is in the second row. Otherwise you can count. There is 2 electrons on the inner shell then every shell after holds 8. Fluorine only has 9 electrons so 2 for the first shell and 7 on the outter shell. It needs 1 more electron to fill its outter (valence) shell.

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: $_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}$

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

Which element is reduced in the following reaction: 2Mg+O₂ → 2MgO if Mg goes from 0 to +2 and O goes from 0 to -2?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.

The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.

<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
