Answer:

Sulfur

Explanation:

<u>Valence electrons</u> are the group numbers. The group numbers are the numbers that go from left to right on the top. But since you can't have more than 8 valence electrons, the group numbers of 13-18, the valence electrons will actually be from 3-8. So 6 valence electrons would be group 16. That narrows it down a lot. The only elements in this group are oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium, polonium, and livermorium.

Energy level are the period numbers. The period numbers are the numbers that go from top to bottom. So the 3rd energy level is the 3rd period. So when you look at the periodic table, under the 16 group and 3rd period, lies Sulfur.

Answer:

The volume of the gas will not change because the metal can is limiting it

Explanation:

Insead, Gay-Lussac's law tells us that the pressure will increase with the temprature unil the can eventually explodes, then allowing the volume to rapidly increase.

Select the more electronegative element in each pair.a.Cl or Fb.Se or Oc.N or Asd.Na or Mg

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of how strongly atoms attract electrons to themselves.

Process

Look for the electronegativity of each element and compare.

a) Cl = 3.16 F = 3.98 Fluorine has a higher electronegativity

b) Se = 2.55 O = 3.44 Oxygen has a higher electronegativity

c) N = 3.04 As = 2.18 Nitrogen has a higher electronegativity

d) Na = 0.93 Mg = 1.31 Magnesium has a higher electronegativity

Explain three factors that can affect the size of a line in a spectrum.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:For atoms and molecules, the width of spectral lines is governed mainly by the broadening of the energy levels of the atoms or molecules during interactions with surrounding particles and by the broadening of the spectral lines as a result of the Doppler effect.
