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.

zysi [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy due to the breaking and formation of bonds. Reactions in which energy is released are exothermic reactions, while those that take in heat energy are endothermic.

Which of the following best describes the

ella [17]

Answer: (C)

The frequency increases as the wavelength decreases

Explanation:

The relation between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is

Frequency = 1 / Wavelength

The Frequency of electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength. So, as the frequency increases, the wavelength of the wave decreases and vise-versa.

The frequency of a wave is number of complete cycles passing a particular point per second. Its S.I unit is Hertz whereas the wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crest and trough in meters.

So, on increasing the frequency of a wave, there will be more number of the cycles of wave per second which will decrease the distance between the consecutive crest and trough i.e wavelength.
